My Weight Loss Story In December of 2001 my husband lost his job. So I started stress eating. Then of course there was all that eating out on the trip from California back home on the east coast. I gained 25 Lbs. I still refused to do anything because I thought I am eating healthier now. It will come off. In March I went to see my mom for the first time since arriving home. That's when I realized I needed to do something. She made the comment that I looked heavy. I arrived back home from Florida on March 18th and on March 19th I joined Weight Watchers. I had to relearn how to eat properly. I had to learn to accept what I had done to my body and to forgive myself. 5 months later I was back down to the weight I was when I left the hospital with Nyssa. I would now like to get down to a lower weight. It took going up to 180 to find out that 155 was a perfectly healthy weight for someone who stood 5'9. I wish I had joined weight watchers after I gave birth to Nyssa. I wish I had not taken that long to realize even though I may never get back to that size 3 I am still a healthy weight. When I wore a size 3 I weighed 120 Lbs. That was too thin. I would like to get down to 140 now. When I do get there I will be happy to be there and not think what if. I have had my ups and my downs in my weight loss but I finally made it into my safe range this summer. I made lifetime on November 1, 2002. I am still trying to loose a couple more pounds as I have not made it into my favorite skirt. It is a size 10. I am currently a size 12. So close. My real goal is getting into that skirt. The long term benefit has been that I have no desire to really over eat now. It really has become my lifestyle. I used to sit and eat a large amount of truffles when I was depressed. I bought a one pound box of truffles from Sees yesterday and my daughter has eaten more than I have. over 3/4 lb of the box still remains. I feel good about myself. I know that I can do this forever.
