I put on several pounds when I lived in NY, due to working midtown and all the kosher restaurants available there. I didn't quite realize HOW MUCH weight I'd gained until I got married and got a scale as a wedding gift.
In the past year and a half I slowly learned how to eat healthy and joined a gym. In the last 3 months I starting eat low fat meals due to high cholesterol, and did more research on what I should be eating. To make a long story short, I finally learned what's good for me to eat and lost 15 pounds in the last 4 months, bringing my total weight loss to 23 pounds!
I love the food I eat and I'm never hungry (except when I'm supposed to be)!
I can now say that I'm a full 100 lbs. lighter than I was at my heaviest weight, which feels beyond great. Just a bit more to go, and then the battle is maintaining. Just goes to show you -- no one's a hopeless case. Hopefully you're all having continued success.
