I am happy to say that as of today I have lost 105 pounds!

I gave up on dieting in 2008. After 35 years of dieting and bingeing my way up to more than 300 pounds, I said, “No more.” I purchased a book about intuitive eating and joined an online support group. I gained another 12 pounds in the first six months which is fairly typical as you let go of the diet mentality and start to heal your relationship with food. After that, I started slowly losing weight, learning to trust my body as to what to eat and when and always eating to the point of satisfaction, only when hungry.

Along the way, I should add that I also worked on improving my thyroid function with supplements. It is very difficult to lose weight if you have a sluggish metabolism.
