Last week I turned 29. On my 28th birthday I was depressed, lonely, single, and overweight. Now, a year later, I am happy, healthy and in love! I love myself, the way I feel and my wonderful boyfriend. Now, I’m not going to blow a bunch of sunshine up your screen and say that if you try Medifast your life will only be filled with rainbows, glass slippers and happily ever afters.

I still get stuck in traffic, have bad days at work, and I don’t like everything I try on when I’m shopping. What I am saying, is that by sticking to Medifast I have found happiness in myself that I have never felt before. I’m confident in all aspects of my life. Medifast has sent me down an amazing path, bringing me to the life that I have now.

I am looking forward to getting a new drivers’ license. My old license has the old me pictured. I was reticently asked for my ID when I ordered a glass of wine. The woman took a triple-take, I thought because it was my birthday but then she said “you look great!” Wow, that felt good.

In the last year of my 20s, I want to continue my healthy lifestyle and outlook on life. I’m going to turn 30 looking amazing. I am so happy that I changed my destiny.
