26. How I lost 82 Pounds | Debra Fowler

MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger

Meet Debra Fowler, a 48-year-old nurse from North Carolina who went from hiding in the back of photos to confidently stepping on the scale each week. Her incredible 82-pound weight loss journey began with a powerful wake-up call at a funeral where she realized denial wasn't working anymore.

In this raw, honest conversation, Debra shares how she tried everything—from calorie counting journals to meal replacement programs—before finding what actually worked. She opens up about the shame of eating candy in secret, the physical pain that made walking unbearable, and how GLP-1 medications finally gave her the control she'd been desperately seeking.

What makes this story special: Debra's 15-year-old daughter became her workout accountability partner, and now they're crushing fitness classes together three times a week. From spinal fusion surgery to finding joy in getting dressed again, this episode proves that getting healthy isn't about perfection—it's about finding what works for YOUR life.

If you've ever felt stuck, judged by doctors, or wondered if you're "broken," Debra's story will remind you that you're not alone, and it's never too late to take back control.
