C
I was a fat kid who grew into an overweight adult.I was constantly laughed at for being heavier than the other kids, leaving me feeling shy.I tried several diets, but none worked, and I ended up gaining weight.Another factor contributing to my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating.
When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds.Lacking the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college.I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds.I caught my reflection in a mirror and the truth hit me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and unhappier.
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss efforts and realized they didn't work because they required me to give up foods I loved.Then I would constantly think about food and binge, abandoning the diet altogether.If I took a common-sense approach and ate smaller portions of all foods, I would be able to satisfy my hunger and not feel deprived.
