While searching for a topic for the day, I came upon a marvelous story.
Kim Bensen was like most of us fighting a weight problem, losing 10 pounds only to gain 15 later. A visit to her health care provider was the awakening moment. Kim was to learn that her cholesterol was at a dangerous level. This could eventually mean heart disease, her weight had become her deadly enemy.
Being a young mother she knew that she had to make some life style changes. Kim joined Weight Watchers and within two years had lost 212 pounds.
Kim is the author of Finally Thin and is editor for Better TV and Parents TV.
Week after week I stuck with it. There were challenges and plateaus. There was hope and victory. My journey was long, but it didn’t matter anymore. I loved what I was doing! I could live with this! For the first time in years I was under 300 lbs … then 200 lbs … then, on October 7, 2003, I reached my goal.
Below you will find a video that includes more information about Kim.
