Bio By Joanne Gonwa

I grew up in a home with a single mother and the stresses of financial insecurity, parental abandonment, and the emotional instability of my mother. I began at a young age to attempt to soothe my own emotional insecurities with food. This pattern of using food to placate my emotions has continued throughout my life. I felt trapped in endless

cycles of diets/rebound weight gain as decades of life seasons passed.  In April 2018 at age 64 I heard about IF and after some research   I began my IF journey reaching my lowest adult weight since my early 20s.  I sustained this loss until 2020 when I experienced several major life stressors that I allowed to send me back to old ways of coping regaining all the weight I had lost. In 2021 after viewing a family photo made of our 40th wedding anniversary I recommitted to myself and resumed IF. In ten months, I lost 42 pounds, and I have maintained that loss to this day. If has truly freed me to experience my best life!
