EP95: Discovering a healthier life - Sharon's weight loss journey

Today I am joined by special guest Sharon from London, Ontario in Canada.

The episode is focused on how Sharon overcame a lifestyle of overeating, poor habits and an emotional relationship with food. I hear how since childhood there had been a struggle to make healthy choices and not until into her late 30s Sharon decided to change the trajectory of her life.

We talk about the impact of being overweight and how social events were triggering and difficult to go to, often resulting in a stop at a local store on the way home to pick up a pack of donuts.

Then, once the decision to lose weight was made and Sharon joined Weight Watchers, she lost more than 100lbs in a year! This was an amazing achievement and a dream come true, however unfortunately quite short-lived for Sharon.

In 2016, Sharon suffered a heart attack that not only impacted her day to day life during her recovery and beyond, but during this time the weight that had been lost returned.

Listen to how Sharon refused to give up and focused her attention to following the Keto method of eating in which her intake of carbs was restricted to 20 grams per day. This was a pivotal moment for Sharon and was the beginning of the success she enjoys today.

I want to give a special thanks to Sharon for being our latest Weight Loss Warrior and encourage you all to follow her Instagram account where she shares a lot of valuable information about her journey and the Keto diet.
