Vanessa:

Okay, the way it has changed my life is just in every sense. I mean, I have changed, I think, aside from physically, I have changed, you know, mentally and emotionally. I have grown. I mean, I actually saw one of my friend’s moms the other day, and she was just like, “Vanessa, even the way you talk is different. I can’t believe the way you have changed.” I think it has just given me more self-confidence.

Aside from, you know, I am not diabetic anymore, that’s completely gone. The weight loss, I am healthy, I actually have more energy. I actually want to go out and do stuff, as opposed to before I was just always so lazy and tired and I couldn’t understand why, and it’s just the weight, literally weighing me down, the weight.
