These Military Wives Underwent Shocking Transformations

Cutting out the Junk

Misty admits that her terrible diet led to major fatigue. She was also teased because of how much she weighed – something no one should have to go through regardless of how they look. At her heaviest, Misty clocked in at 300 lbs, though she’s the very average height of five feet six inches tall.

To kick start her weight loss while her husband was away, Misty decided to cut out junk food. She stopped drinking soda – literally one of the worst options for your overall health – and would stick to just water and coffee. As any ex-soda addicts knows, your body literally craves the sweetness, so it wasn’t easy.

Misty Slowly Recovers From Her Soda Addiction

The beginning is always the most difficult – especially if you’re used to eating whatever you want. Your body literally craves food that’s bad for you, and it’s not even your fault. The worst foods – the packaged, sugar-filled carb-loads — are scientifically created to be the most addictive combination of salt, sugar, and fat. This makes people buy more junk and makes tons of money for the companies that sell these products.

According to Misty, the first three-to-four months were the most difficult. Once she got over that hill, she stopped craving sugar and carbs and started craving healthy food and water. Soda began to repulse her. When she’d drink a diet Coke, she’d get so thirsty that she wouldn’t even want to have another sip.
