The Student Becomes the Teacher
After realizing her weight had skyrocketed 45 pounds in a single year, Kari Leonard joined a local weight-loss accountability group in 2015. Part of the process included taking “before” pictures. “I literally cried for three hours over those photos,” she says. “So many thoughts plagued me: How did I let myself get this far? Will I ever be healthy or fit? I then realized it was now or never.”
Leonard set some fitness goals and learned about clean eating. Ditching her beloved processed, sugary and fried meals wasn’t easy at first, but soon her taste buds began craving lean protein, healthy fats, fruit and veggies.
