Trust me, when it comes to weight loss, I have ‘been there, done that’ so I can totally relate to your frustrations and disbelief. The struggle is real. It’s daunting and it seems impossible.
For decades, I struggled to shed the excess weight I gained during medical school, residency and while in private practise. A classic yo-yo dieter, losing 30 – 50 pounds only to regain 40 – 60 pounds when I went off program, I dieted my up to and well over 200 pounds.
Truthfully I cannot recall ever feeling content with my body, heavy or slim. I was always either cheating or ‘behaving,’ shaming myself, avoiding family gatherings and pretending it didn’t matter. Well it DOES!
