well actually it was about this time last year I was sitting around the holidays were here. I just did not feel good about myself I didn't wanna look in the mirror I just I was unhappy I had tried other weight-loss things before taking a pill and that doesn't teach you anything when you quit taking the pill you can't keep the weight off. I knew I was gonna have to find something where I could learn how to lose the weight and keep it off. so that was a great thing about Arize Clinic in Huntsville, AL. when I joined, I'll be honest the first two weeks I had a hard time I tend to be a very picky eater and to try to stay within the limitations of the diet was a little bit difficult but honestly after the two weeks it came very easily and I was actually eating more than I did before but I was still losing weight it started to come off very easily and having the support from the people in the office (they were working at the program with me) and that made all the difference to me. so really at the end of my program I had lost what I wanted to lose and in maintenance I still continue to lose. the folks at the Arize clinic were fabulous and be able to meet with a dietitian each week was wonderful she gave so much great advice suggestions for things I could do. we changed things up a little bit and that works better for me and it was just such a wonderful experience. I learned how nutrition really is the most important thing in your diet and it was it was phenomenal. I have really changed my life and I'll never go back to the way I ate before. if it didn't come in a bag or go in the microwave, that's what I did before. I don't do that now. now I shop around the perimeter of the grocery store. Arize Clinic was wonderful and it really changed my life
