"My mom and I decided to make lifestyle changes
together and joined TOPS."
“As early as preschool, I knew I was different. I was teased for
being overweight and I didn’t like the way it made me feel. Even
though I’m a very good student, my weight held me back from
being the best I could be. My mom and I decided to make
lifestyle changes together and joined TOPS. It wasn’t until last
year that everything began to click for me. I started to count
calories, keep a journal, drink water, attend weekly meetings,
and exercise. As the pounds melted away, I noticed changes in
how I looked and how I felt. I hope my success will inspire
other kids to make healthier food choices and enjoy more active
lifestyles."
