“What a fantastic experience this has been for me over the past year. Kelly was an absolutely amazing teacher, listener, counselor, and friend to all of us at Carolina Preserve, and she is the reason I achieved my goal and will continue to do so going forward.
I am eighty-one years old and have tried losing weight for most of my married life but never was able to “get it”. She taught “mindful eating” lessons as long-term goals over and over again each class. She made us realize that simple strategies we change each day can make a permanent difference in our lives for the future. I can have unhealthy or not-so nutritious foods and still maintain my weight, but I have finally learned how to do that in moderation and infrequently instead of daily.
Kelly has been such an inspiration to me, and she will always be in my thoughts reminding me that “I” can control food rather than” food” controlling me.”
