My Personal Weight Loss Success Story: The Beginning
My story doesn’t start out very different from many others. I had enjoyed my
teenage years and early twenties in health that was well above average. Also
like many others, as I approached my thirties my health and correspondingly,
my weight, began to suffer.
In 1995, I started dating my husband. There were so many angles of my
life converging and creating stress at that time that I began to eat for
emotional and even physical support. Planning a wedding and the complications
of my work environment took their toll. In the midst of my engagement, the
company I was working for laid off many of their employees, including me, and
I was left searching for another job. A co-worker of mine always had chocolate,
free for the taking, on her desk. It was a good thing it was free or else I
would have racked up quite a bill. Sugar became my compensation for energy that
I couldn’t muster up myself. Shortly before my wedding, I remember fretting over
whether or not I’d be able to fit into my wedding dress. Thank goodness it fit!
At the time of my wedding, in 1997, I was a size 10 and at a healthy weight of
150 pounds. My continued bad habits were not left unnoticed. In 2002, at my peak
weight and unhealthiness, I found myself at 250 pounds wearing a size 22.
Would you like to find out your ideal weight?
Drowning out any sign that my life and health were spinning out of control, I
had truly lost myself. My body had become a reflection of the chaos I felt
raging inside of me. Looking back, it’s unbelievable that I didn’t come to the
realization earlier that I needed to make major changes in the way I lived my
life.
