My name is Helen Blicharz. I am a 50-year-old mother of three. I also have a wonderful husband, John, and the cutest little Beagle named Bingo. I work for a Lutheran Church, and I have a member, Shelley Beck, who introduced me to your podcast. She also encourages me to share my story with you and has been doing so for over a year; I've been hesitating as I am still on my weight loss journey. I have been pretty much overweight most of my life or at least after I graduated college. I tried just about every diet out there Weight Watchers, Liquid diets. Nutrisystem's Jenny Craig, you name it. Various things worked throughout the years, but nothing never worked or help me loose weight. In 2018, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and my doctor told me that most people were not successful in losing weight on their own and that I had really good insurance, and she recommended weight loss surgery. I was really offended, but I found out later that she was in her residency and was using a reverse psychology tactic, which worked for me. I told her that I have never truly tried to lose weight on my own, and I think I could do it with some guidance. So I started out giving up sugar for 21 days, and that led me to a low-carb diet. Which eventually led to keto. And I lost 25 lbs. When I went back to the doctor, she was very happy, and that started my journey to where I am today. I did not stay with Keto, but I was introduced to intermittent fasting. COVID and why everyone else gained weight I was losing because I had more control and I didn't have insulin spikes. The keto diet helped me too. Gain the confidence I needed to find another lifestyle which was intermittent fasting. Three years later I still Fast, Feast & Repeat. Mostly. I have a four-hour window, so I fast for 20 hours, and sometimes, on the weekend, I open my window up for 8 hours to switch it up. I have lost 110 lbs. total so far, and although I am currently not at my goal weight and still have 50 lbs. to go, I know I will get there.
