Yesterday I saw one of our patients who has lost a total of 85 pounds. She informed me that she is now training for a half-marathon. This half marathon is for people who are wheelchair bound.
When she first entered our program, the patient was still able to transport herself without any aid whatsover from her chair to her automobile. However, it did seem quite difficult becasuse of her weight problem. Yesterday after her visit, I observed her do the car transfer steps, and it was amazing just how much easier it seemed for her.
She now smiles lots during here visits, looks about 10 years younger than when she started, and clearly, is able to do many more things with less effort. Her fortitude, determination and accomplishments before our program were amazing. Brilliant, successful at work, etc. She brought those same traits in her quest to lose weight, and although she cannot walk, she is one of our most successful weight loss patients. A true inspiration!
