This is a YouTube video titled "Ann Marie lost 24lbs at age 69 thanks to the support of my online weight loss coaching" containing a personal testimonial by Nagina Abdullah. In the video, Nagina shares her experience of being mentored and supported through a weight loss journey, emphasizing the encouragement, hope, and sustainable lifestyle changes she achieved rather than a temporary diet.
So the difference with you is you became a friend and you came alongside me and mentored me. You were for me. And you weren't a harsh school teacher bawling me out. You tried every way you could to encourage me and educate me. So your attitude put me in a place of safety. And when we feel safe and supported, we can learn and change. So your whole personality, who you are and the friendship you offer of support is just, it, valuable in itself. But your knowledge, oh, it put everything together that I had ever learned in one very doable plan. This is what I didn't know that you brought to me is that I could have hope. Oh. And my shock was the first we. The seven days later when I got on the scale, I had to rub my eyes and I looked and I looked and I was like, can this be right? I have lost weight. I was just flabbergasted. I thought the scale was, was. I was. I was floored. And I've been losing weight ever since and not gaining weight. Not a diet at all. No. This is the rest of my life. This is so fun and so delicious and so inexpensive and so possible that there's nothing hindering me at all. Not even my husband. I don't care what crap he eats. I will eat this way until they put me in nursing home and I'm forced to eat their whatever, industrialized food. But I. This. This for me, is not eight weeks. This is not even this year. This is onward.
