Dr. Darryl Wharton, a life transformation strategist, shares her remarkable journey from weighing 674 pounds to losing over 400 pounds on the Free Your Mind mental health podcast. Starting at age two when she began getting weighed and joining Weight Watchers at seven with her mother, she struggled with her weight through childhood and into adulthood, trying countless diets and eventually undergoing weight loss surgery at 28. After years of continued struggle and feeling stuck in the low 400s, she transformed her mindset using the affirmation ‘I am disciplined and focused’ and shifted her goal from just wanting to be skinny to becoming healthy and well in spirit, mind, and body. She emphasizes that lasting change requires transforming your relationship with food rather than following temporary diets, and now helps other women overcome self-doubt and achieve their highest potential through mindset coaching, drawing on her degrees in psychology, social work, and special education.
