133. Fed Up With Diets? How Terri Lost 38 Pounds After Cancer and Chemo

<p>Ever tried everything to lose weight—and I mean <em>everything</em>—and still felt stuck? If you’re burned out from tracking, restricting, and trying to be “good,” this episode is going to feel like a big deep breath.</p><p>Today, I’m joined by my amazing client Terri, who shares her story of losing 38 pounds <em>after</em> surviving aggressive blood cancer and chemo. Yep, she’s been through it. Post-treatment, her energy was shot, her labs were a mess, and every “normal” dietitian gave her advice that didn’t fit her life or her healing body. It wasn’t until she found mindful eating and our work together that things started to click.</p><p>Terri opens up about what it was really like to feel hopeless, skeptical, and just plain done with trying. She talks about the moment she decided to bet on herself one last time…and how it changed <em>everything</em>. No calorie counting. No burnout. No forcing herself to eat breakfast while nauseous just to hit macros. Just small, powerful shifts that worked for her real life, on her timeline.</p><p>We get into the mindset stuff, the supplement support, the daily check-ins, the slow but steady weight loss that <em>stuck</em>, and how she finally got her energy and confidence back. This isn’t a quick fix or a perfect before-and-after—it’s the story of someone who learned how to listen to her body, eat without fear, and feel damn proud of herself again.</p><p>If you’re ready to finally bet on yourself and get off the self-sabotage merry-go-round, hit play! Let’s talk real, sustainable, <em>forever</em> results with some laughter and a LOT of honesty. I know Terri’s story will move you.</p><p>xoxo,</p><p>Jackie</p><p>P.S.
