Kimberly Kelly is a long time listener and supporter of
Stand Up. We have talked a few times over the past 2 years and I was honored to win her trust to the point she felt comfortable talking with me both on and off the record about her life, work and struggle with her weight over her life. She called me and told me that she has lost over 100 lbs 3 times before in her life but that she wasn't sure she could do it again at 57. But she wants to try and she wants to share her story while she does. I was really honored to have her tell her story and talk openly about her struggle and I hope it can inform, educate and inspire you to either have a better understanding of those who share her struggle or inform you on your own. If you want to contact Kimberly just email me and I will be sure she gets your correspondence.
If you think sharing your story would be helpful to your or others then let me know and we can chat
