A friend from Church opens up to Ya Buddy about her weight‑loss journey — not just the physical changes, but the emotional, spiritual, and identity work behind it. She shares the lies she had to confront, the habits she had to rebuild, and the moments when God met her in the struggle. This honest, uplifting conversation is a reminder that real transformation starts within.
