I am a 57-year-old woman and I have been into health and fitness most of my life. I taught nautilus and aerobics and was familiar with practically every diet known to man. However, in the year of 2004, I had gone through much loss including my brother to cancer, my father had a heart attack, my mother had health issues. Plus, I was working in radio at the time and the station decided to sell and go with another format. I started to eat my emotions. I gained fifty pounds. I would lose a little only to go on vacation and gain some back and it just didn’t seem to end. Then, I got on the scale one day and my fifty became one hundred. How did I get here? How did I allow myself to get to this weight? I was depressed and overwhelmed.
