Patient Success Back “There was a dress in my closet that was taunting me for two years. I bought it for a wedding, and between the time I bought the dress and the wedding, I had put on too much weight to wear it but I was determined to fit into the dress for another wedding later this year. I finally tried on the dress and it fit! It’s time to shop for shoes!” Carol, lost 11 kg “Bad habits weren’t just about me anymore. When I was diagnosed with a medical condition, it was about my family and I needed to act. This works. But not by itself. You’ve got to do your part as well.
