I'm 45 now and I can't remember/count how many times I have had to start or should I say restart a weight loss program.

Over the years, I have lost 50 pounds twice, 40 pounds once, and 30 pounds once, 25 pounds, and 10 pounds the last time!

Each time however, I have regained the weight, and then some.

I am an emotional eater, and I have used food to make me feel happy.

Portion sizes, and fast food are my two big issues.

To achieve my goals, and to end the cycle of yo yo dieting I am trying to get a better understanding on why I eat the portion sizes I do.

Feel free to follow me if you would like some support, and maybe we can help each other reach our goals.


Update August 2018: I reached 269 pounds on January 1, 2017 - worst point ever. I lost about 22 pounds over 18 months just watching portion sizes. I have now started intermittent fasting and started to log everything I eat. Trying to hover between 1800 and 2000 calories a day, and lower my sugar intake.

My goal is still 165 pounds - have to lose another 75 pounds to get there.
