What happens when the founder of a med spa finally confronts her lifelong battle with weight? Diane's raw, emotional journey from 300 pounds to losing 170 pounds isn't just about numbers—it's about reclaiming life itself.

"I look at myself now and I look at myself 170 pounds ago and I know I added a decade onto my life," Diane reveals in this deeply personal conversation. For someone who tried "every pill, lotion, potion, diet" since childhood, her transformation required more than willpower—it demanded a complete mindset revolution.

The turning point came during her father's cancer battle. Seeing her hero frail yet fighting sparked an epiphany that changed everything. Through gastric sleeve surgery, GLP-1 medications, and unwavering commitment, Diane navigated plateaus and setbacks that would have defeated her former self. But this isn't a story about medical interventions—it's about using every available tool to become who you were always meant to be.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is Diane's honesty about the psychological journey. The strange disconnect between her new body and self-perception. The liberation of finally having her outside match her inside. The guilt she initially felt about using medical help for weight loss. "It's not cheating," she emphasizes. "It's giving you your life back."

As a woman in the aesthetics industry who once heard clients say, "You don't look like you should be selling body contouring services because you're so big," her transformation transcends physical change. It's about silencing critics, proving doubters wrong, and most importantly, becoming comfortable in her own skin for the first time in her life.

Whether you're considering your own weight loss journey or simply need inspiration to tackle seemingly impossible goals, Diane's message resonates: "If I can do it, anyone can do it."
