The former The View host captioned the clip: ‘my goal was 15lbs but I just hit 20lbs!
‘It’s been a journal of mental self talk… believing in my worth… knowing my son Jeffrey needs his Momma healthy & whole and wanting to live a life filled w joy.’
She continued: ‘I’ve shed tears because I relied on sugar & carbs (the bad ones), cookies & candy to get me through but In changing my lifestyle and my relationship to food, I love the way I feel.’
‘Clear headed… more clarity, focused & walking in my purpose.’
She then encouraged her followers to ‘take control’ of their health while she signed off with the hashtags, ‘teamhealthy #theskyisthelimit #healthylifestyle #joy #itfeelssogood #takearisk.’
The Dish Nation host then posted another photo of herself smiling later that day and wrote: ‘today I am choosing a smile filled with a bunch of silly & a dose of thankfulness.’
Sherri was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes back in 2007 and immediately began working to improve her health.
Since March 2018, she has been on a sugar-free keto diet and says she has seen an improvement in her diabetes.
