Dear Slim·Fast,

My first and last thing I would like to express to you and your products is my utmost thanks. I'm not your typical woman who has been helped by your products and I would like every man and woman who has tried and failed at all types of diets to give your products a try. I have had a weight problem for most of my life. I can count the times I've been thin and at those times it was by risky crash dieting and starving myself. I have never had a good image of myself and I've always lacked self-esteem, never feeling good about myself. My best friend in life and solace to comfort has always been food. I've had my share of ups and downs and knocks in life and I used food as an outlet for relief. Last year my husband was in the process of changing careers and was working two jobs so he was gone all day and night. I would cook late at night for him and I ballooned up to over 220 pounds.

Today, a year later, I have lost 73 pounds just by getting up on a Monday morning and weighing myself, saying it's 80 pounds to 300 or 80 pounds to 140. So that was the beginning of making up my mind and trying Slim·Fast. I have changed my eating habits over the past year, and I must say, I'm so glad I did. I used to have to decide which fast food chain was going to be my lunch for the day, now I am disciplined and look forward to my Slim·Fast shake for lunch. Chocolate and junk food were also big culprits so I drink the Chocolate Royale. It helps satisfy my sweet tooth as well as fill me up until dinner.

Don't think that it was all simple. I think it was very hard the first two weeks with the cravings, but I weighed myself after only two weeks and I had dropped 7 pounds, which gave me the incentive to continue and give it my all. No, I am not 20 and trying to lose a few pounds to look better in my wedding dress or have just had a baby and wanting my figure back. I'm a 47 year old mother of 3 grown children and grandmother of 3 and I think when I look at pictures of myself now that I'm not so bad and want to say to the world "do I look like your grandma did?".

My cholesterol has lowered since I gave up the fast food and started Slim·Fast, which is another plus. My message to anyone who has tried and failed, used every excuse for being overweight, or just gave up trying is to try Slim·Fast. I think going from a size 20 plus to a size 9/10 in a year has been worth it. Again Slim·Fast, my utmost thanks.

Sincerely,
Theresa D.
