The first 80 came off quickly... 9 months. Then I was so happy to be a size 16 and tired of always thinking about weight that I decided to take a break. I waited a year and just enjoyed life. Then I felt ready to start again. It took me a year to lose the other 55. I didn't exercise hard or count calories really. Just at the same every day.

Losing a lot of weight really is a process. Your mind needs time to catch up to your body. So many things change quickly especially as you get pretty small. It takes time.

Well... I was sick and in pain constantly. Didn't realize I had undiagnosed food allergies until I started an elimination diet and then saw the allergist. One of my kids is special needs and I spent some time feeling angry about life and mad at myself for not being able to fix her or myself. I decided one day to start living or to die. I knew I wasn't really living as I was. I was surviving. Making it day to day. I knew I needed a huge change. I thought about it for quite some time and set a date to start and did it. Never looked back. Felt so much better after 2 days of elimination diet. The weight started falling off and the pain started going away. Eating less and healthy, taking care of your body is so freeing. Every day is more exciting. You get more confident. So I think the key is realizing that life goes on regardless of what stage you're in. And you can let it move on being unhealthy and fat or you can decide to jump in and work hard and enjoy every day more.

Oh! Food allergies have a whole slew of symptoms. I never realized just how much they effect you. I had GI trouble, joint pain, back aches, menstrual cramps, depression, anxiety. skin issues, breathing and blood pressure issues. So if you are miserable and can't figure out why... go get a scratch test. It's taken a couple of years to really clear out all my allergies in my diet but I feel like a different person.
