Carla Slater Success Story

Medifast changed my life in way I could not have dreamed. I’m a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. My job is very physical and being overweight proved to be very challenging. As you can imagine my weight was becoming a liability. We had a circular advertising a new weight loss center in the area. While going through my review mail, I glanced at the information on the card. Naturally I thought it sounded too good to be true. Being as nosey as I am, I went to inquire more on the program.

I met the Center Manager and she explained the program in detail and how each one is designed to target different weight loss problem areas. Being very skeptical, I came up with a dozen excuses why it couldn’t work because of my busy work schedule. However, the Center Manager kept assuring me that it could be done. Reluctant as I was, I just didn’t see myself being successful. Then something amazing happened. She asked me to give her a reason why it can work. It actually took me nearly 45 minutes. No one has ever made me stop and think deeply and seriously on why I could be successful. The ball was in my court for the first time in a long while.

The Center Manager made me realize that the only obstacle in the way was my own fear. After realizing the only thing to fear was not trying at all, I decided why not! What do I have to lose…..WEIGHT!

I came up with a daily routine which included waking up 30 minutes earlier so I could eat my first meal. With hard work, dedication and support, there was no excuse for failure. As a Christian, I have faith. Faith is believing all things are possible. Medifast gave me confidence, mobility and my self-esteem back. When I say “If I can do it, you can too” believe me….I’m living proof it can be done.
