Welcome everyone you're listening to Weight Loss Made Real and I'm your host and

coach Cookie Rosenblum. Today I have a treat for you. I'm going to interview a special guest

Heather Robertson. Heather Robertson is from Half Siz Me Podcast and she has a

community called the Half size me community. Heather herself

has been through an amazing journey and that's why I wanted to invite her here for you to hear her story because Heather herself has lost an incredible

170 pounds and that has pretty much put her on the road to really dedicating her life to helping other people

conquer extra weight and get healthy and live the life they were meant to live. So welcome to Heather. Heather

I really appreciate you joining me today and sharing your story.

Oh absolutely, thank you so much for inviting me. I love to talk to you again. You were you

were awesome to have on my show and I'm excited to be here. Thank you. Thank you. So let's dive

right in. One of the things that fascinates me most about your story and you may be

tired of hearing this but one of those things is the amount of weight that you lost because you know people struggle with

10 pounds 30 pounds 40 pounds but it's hard to imagine having the ability to stick to something for long enough to lose 170 pounds.

So let me take you back to the beginning and ask you a few questions.

The way that I see it, there is a difference when someone gains 40 or 50 pounds and when someone gains 100 or 150 pounds. Can you tell us

through your experience what it's like to be gaining weight and your

close close getting to be gaining weight and see the scale going up and see your clothes getting tighter

and yet be unable to stop.

What was it, what was the journey up? and yet be unable to stop.

What was the journey upward like?

Right, well it's a lot of dishonesty

and it's a lot of dark moments
