My Journey to Better Health
Imagine being miles from home, in a foreign country, and realizing that none of the stores carry your size. This humbling moment sparked my journey of self-discovery and transformation. I never saw myself as overweight—just "thick"—but that experience was the wake-up call that changed everything.
The Catalyst for Change
My “light bulb” moment came during a business trip to a remote country. When my luggage went missing, I was left with only the clothes I wore on the plane. I spent hours visiting store after store, only to be told repeatedly that they had nothing in my size. Eventually, a kind colleague suggested we try the outskirts of town, where larger sizes were more common, but I politely declined. By pure luck, I found a stretchy dress just as the stores were closing. It wasn’t business attire by any stretch, but it was better than sweats. I’d always thought of myself as “thick,” not overweight, but this experience opened my eyes. I realized that for my health and confidence, I needed to make a change.
A Lifelong Struggle with Weight
Though I haven’t always been overweight, I’ve spent most of my adult life managing extra pounds. The “freshman 15” turned into a gradual climb. After college, I managed to lose the weight but gained it back in grad school. Since then, the weight has been tough to keep off.

Navigating the Challenges
This journey has been both rewarding and challenging. I realized early on that success directly correlates with consistency—there’s no “sort of” following the plan. If I stray, even just a bit, I see it in my results. Last year, I made the mistake of indulging over the holidays. I figured a cookie here, a helping of mac and cheese there wouldn’t hurt, but it took me four months to regain my momentum. I learned the hard way that small detours can delay big progress.
Redefining My Eating Habits
Before Brooktree, my eating was sporadic. I’d skip meals and often ate out at restaurants that weren’t the healthiest. With Brooktree, I switched to six meals a day, three full meals and three snacks, with a focus on lean proteins and veggies. Social eating was a big temptation for me, but I learned to pull back from outings that revolved around food. Now, I’m mostly plant-based and have cut out dairy and meat, with a major focus on keeping my protein intake high.
A Journey, Not a Destination
While I’m not yet fully satisfied, I’m thrilled with the progress. My energy levels are higher, and I’m now attuned to my body’s signals. I love how I feel now, and while the journey continues, I know I’m on the right path.

Weight Loss Lessons
I used to think weight loss was just about exercise, but it’s so much more. I’ve learned it’s a full-time commitment. You can’t live a healthy lifestyle only when it’s convenient; it’s a lifetime choice. Every small decision—whether to take the stairs or skip that late night out—counts toward the bigger goal.
