ABOUT SHELLY
Shelly Southall is a “Rightsize Living Expert” with a passion for helping people who are struggling with weight regain, or the paralyzing fear of regain, after weight loss surgery. Shelly began her battle with obesity as a young girl, starting her first doctor-directed diet at 8 years old. From there, she was sucked into the yo-yo cycle of dieting which included hospital programs, nutritionists, psychologists, fat camps, starvation, pills and just about every big-name diet program you can imagine. She underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2002, losing 101 pounds. Shortly thereafter, some of the bad habits returned and her lifelong struggle resumed … and she eventually regained half of the weight she had lost through surgery. Her bariatric tool still worked, but she needed to develop what she refers to as the "rightsize mindset" to go along with it. After more than a decade of struggle with post-surgery regain she finally figured out how to break free from the chains of obesity once and for all without dieting or drastic measures. Today, Shelly helps others achieve rightsize living through her program Bitesize Changes, which is based on a 7-step process designed to help people transform their lives one habit at a time.
