I had no trouble with my weight in college. I ran five miles a day and ate anything I wanted. In fact, standing at just over 5’3”, I would eat more than my 6 foot boyfriend (who eventually became my husband) and still was incredibly lean. I graduated from college and even though I was sitting a lot more in an office environment, I kept trim and attractive. After the birth of my first son at 26 however, my weight profile really changed and weight loss success would become far more difficult.
It took me 18 months to lose the weight I gained in 9. I had to watch what I ate and exercise if I wanted to keep trim. When I was 35, I got pregnant for the second time (we wanted more sooner but nature didn’t cooperate). I ended up having a c-section which really put a damper on my exercise program. But I didn’t care, I was so happy with my new baby! Shortly after I went back to work, I landed a high stress, but well paying, job. Between the demands of a new baby, the lack of exercise and the job stress, I ballooned to a size 16 by the time I was 39. I gained almost 40 pounds of pure fat. If a size 16 doesn’t sound that large to you, consider the fact that I stand only 5’ 3” and had been a sleek size 4 when in college.
I was mortified! So I tried what had worked when I was young started to run again. After all if it worked in college, it should work now – right? Well it didn’t.Weight loss success eluded me. I actually got hungrier and fatter. My knees ached and I had no energy. Physically I felt lousy and emotionally, I was miserable (no - make that depressed) over my perceived failure. Even though I used to jest with my husband that I was the World’s Fittest Fat Woman, I wanted to feel sexy again. Younger too!
I didn’t get used to the weight. Forty was just too young to have to pack it in (or pack it on in my case). So I read everything in sight and tried a lot of different programs (some worked – others didn’t). I kept copious notes and started to realize that what worked generally was supported by research. Eventually, I put together a weight loss program that works. Not just for me but everyone who uses it because it is backed by weight loss research.
