Episode 72 -Lesley Johnson Long Term Obesity issues and how she renewed her health with intermittent fasting.
Description
Lesley is from the UK and is a 61 years old who suffered from obesity most of her life.
Lesley was born a normal healthy weight but by the time she was 3 months old she was overweight and remained so for the whole of her childhood, at 7 years old she was 98 pounds, 45 kgs, at 10 she was 140 pounds, 73.5 kilos.
This weight gain continued till she was 13, she then suffered an acute illness, ulcerative colitis, and her weight loss was fast and severe, down to 98 pounds 45kg
After the illness and being on steroids Lesley’s weight increased rapidly, and low calories diets and bulimia followed.
By the time Lesley was 17 she was completely messed up weight wise, life was either severe food restricting or binging.
Weight came on and was dieted off until her limit was reached when she was 40, Lesley weighed 320 pounds 145 kg, and at 5ft 2” this was a very large unhealthy weight to be.
Needless to say a restrictive diet followed and the weight came off, and stayed off for a few months. But the same old story, the weight came back, in desperation Lesley paid to have a gastric bypass operation, again the weight came off and stayed off for a while but then started creeping back on.
May 17th 2020 Lesley was discussing on a FB group how she needed to loose the 14 pounds she had gained and how disappointed she was with herself that she couldn’t get started on a low calorie diet. This was the first time she heard the phrase Intermittent fasting.
That afternoon she downloaded Delay Dont Deny by Gin Stephens, and she started her fasting lifestyle the very next day.
Lesley reached her goal of 30 pounds loss by November 2020 but has since then lost more weight. She has now lost a total of 47 pounds 21.5kgs and has gone from 170.5 pounds to 123 pounds.
Lesley is now confident her weight is now under control, she has clean fasted from the first day and loves the IF WOL!
