| 0:00.0 | I didn't feel confident. I didn't feel good in my skin at all. I didn't like the way I've looked, |
| 0:09.0 | but I also felt defeated all the time because it wasn't for a lack of trying. I had tried and tried over the years to improve my health and lose weight. |
| 0:18.0 | So I just, I kind of walked around always feeling defeated. |
| 0:22.0 | Did you ever think in your entire life you would be the kind of person that's posting these beautiful beach side pictures on Instagram? |
| 0:29.0 | No, and I wish I had had some fourth thought because the number one complaint I get is don't you have anymore before pictures? No, I was deleting all of them. |
