You can file this under inspiration and determination. When Tara Primis was trying to buckle her seat belt while flying to her sister in law's wedding she was mortified, and determined, to lose weight. For this 37 year-old-mother, from Commack, NY, this was the beginning of a much healthier lifestyle. As a part of a real life success story, NutriSystem has released Tara's journey of using their product to lose over 130 pounds.
Tara is truly a wonderful spirit and recognizes that it was up to her to lose the weight. Recently she stated, “most people never see themselves quite the same as others see them, for better or worse.” For Tara, at 276 pounds, that meant “I never saw myself as quite as big as I actually was.”
Through several different instances of being embarrased by how big she was, Tara finally made up her mind that enough was enough. In 2008, with what she said was an “impossible goal” of 145 pounds. One of the aspects of the system that appealed to Tara was the conveience of having meals already planned. She also said that she liked “not having to think about what I was going to eat every day.”
But soon she discovered she was eating well-balanced meals for the first time in her life. Tara doesn't hold anything back when she talks about how she ate before going on Nutrisystem: “being a vegetarian for me had consisted of large quantities of fatty foods and carbohydrates. Nutrisystem helped me discover a balance of fruits, vegetables and proteins I didn’t know I was missing in my diet.”
Tara does give a lot of the credit for her weight loss to what happens beyond the food intake. Nutrisystem has an extensive support system through its online forum and discussion boards. From recipes and food preparation suggestions to advice and words of encouragement and wisdom, the Nutrisystem community gave her the inspiration and practical tools she needed to stay focused on her journey.
A great look at what can happen when you set your mind on an impossible goal. Congratulations Tara!
