“It actually took me a long time to get motivated and really do something about my weight. I had joined eDiets one time before, but at that time I was not ready to lose weight. Watching a friend of mine lose a lot of weight on eDiets was the thing that really got me going,” Karen tells eDiets.com. “She’s known throughout eDiets as LOLACONNECTICUT. Since she started on the program she’s lost about 90 pounds. She’s really been a big inspiration to me.”

Profound realization
Karen said she was surprised to realize that a big reason behind her weight gain was that she wanted to disprove some misconceptions held by her mother.

“All my life, even from when I was a kid, my mother and her side of the family thought that overweight people were less successful, lazy, not loveable or happy,” reveals Karen. “I wanted to prove to her that I could be happy regardless of my weight. I had a great husband, I was successful, and I wanted to show her that I could be sexy and become all the things that she didn’t think fat people could be."

When Karen realized this was why she didn't want to lose weight, that's when everything changed. She started looking for ways to transform her ways and get healthy . With the help of eDiets.com she gradually began adjusting her diet and started making room for fitness.
