Literal (Need to Know)
  • Is a low calorie diet better than a low carb diet?
  • How do I get over a sudden halt in weight loss?
  • How do I conquer my food cravings?
  • What type of exercise is best? (cardio or weight training)

Interpretive

I think the most important thing I learned from Erin was that it is never too late to lose weight. She showed me how to take care of my body again when I wasn't even sure that it was possible. She gave me hope that someday I won't have to shop at the plus size stores. She gave me my life back and I am so thankful.She taught me to look past the sudden halts in weight loss and told me to keep trying.

Applied

My time with Erin really set weight loss as my senior project. I know that there is no time like the present to lose weight and I think that I can do a lot with weight loss as my senior topic. I already have science projects in my head on weight loss, and I have never been more excited to get started on a project! I have already lost 25+ pounds in less than a month and I have no plans to slow down now.
