Teri is a part time retired owner of a cleaning company. She shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which began after reading Delay, Don’t Deny on the recommendation of a friend in 2019. Thanks to intermittent fasting, Teri found freedom, allowing her to enjoy food without fear. She describes how fasting has transformed her relationship with food, providing mental clarity and emotional healing. Teri emphasizes the flexibility of fasting, noting that even on vacations, she maintains a fasting routine that suits her lifestyle.
Teri reflects on her past struggles with body image and eating disorders, which began in her childhood. She recounts how societal pressures and personal experiences led to years of unhealthy habits. However, intermittent fasting has helped her overcome these challenges, leading to improved health and self-acceptance. Teri shares how fasting has positively impacted her physical health, including lowering her cholesterol and improving her heart condition, which was previously damaged by anorexia.
In her advice to new intermittent fasters, Teri encourages patience and persistence. She advises taking baby steps and trusting the process, emphasizing that the benefits of fasting extend beyond weight loss to include mental and emotional well-being. Teri reassures listeners that while fasting may seem daunting at first, it becomes easier with time and can lead to profound life changes.
