Discover Diane's inspiring journey of losing 160 pounds through weight loss surgery and Tirzepatide, gaining confidence, self-love, and empowerment along the way.
Let me introduce you to the girl in this photo. Her name is Diane Gillin. She is 41 years old and has just met the girl in the above photo. For 40 years, she could not see her. The girl in the photo was hidden behind shame, extra weight, embarrassment, cruel words, disappointment, guilt, and fear.
From the time she was a child and teen, she recalls being called the “one with the pretty face,” “the girl with the hot friends,” and “the smart one.” There were whispers behind her back, and the feelings started to feel like she didn’t belong.
That was just the start. College and beyond was filled with more of the same. Weight to hide behind the insecurities. Making sure she was in the back of all the photos so you could not see her body, making sure she posed so her full body did not show, ensuring the angles were correct and having a closet full of all black to disguise the insecurity and shame in who she saw in the mirror.
Fast forward a few decades, and she started a business in aesthetics and has haunting memories of numerous clients telling her she’s “too big” to own this business. She’s “not the right size” to be performing beauty services and she should be “embarrassed and disgraced” that she offered body contouring services when her body was so awful.
Finally, she was ready. She remembers having the conversation with her dad and him saying, “if you just put in enough effort, you could do it on your own”. More shame. More guilt. But this girl was determined. She was not going to miss any more family outings due to fear of her weight; she didn’t want to make excuses for not being able to go on girls' trips because she feared the photos. She was going to do it this time.
She remembers finally being brave and telling her business partner. Finally, one person who understood and respected her choice. He said he had seen me work out, eat right, be disciplined, try every diet in the market, and saw the discouragement with every new failed attempt. So she kept it private and went for it.
Fast-forward a year. After one weight loss surgery and eight months on Tirzepatide, she discovered herself. She lost 160 pounds, but she gained EVERYTHING.
She gained confidence, self-esteem, self-love, and respect for herself and her body.
She found the person everyone else always saw.
She found empowerment.
It’s not just about the “weight.” It’s about self-discovery and taking your life back.
Empowering yourself to love yourself and be the best version of yourself.
