It's possible!

I made a resolution in 2004, and "managing weight" is no longer an issue in my life.

What worked for me? I made the decision to lose weight by making changes that I was willing to commit to for the rest of my life. For me, that meant that I lost weight slowly. More slowly than my friends that started diets in 2004 at the same time. But I'm still a size 4, and my dieting friends have gone round and round losing the same 20/30 pounds & gaining it back. It happened so slowly, and I was so committed and unresentful of the changes that I made, that my friends actually talk like I'm now just a naturally skinny person.

Anyway, just wanted to encourage everyone to believe that it is possible to get a handle on your weight in a way that you can live with long term, and leave this area behind as "a problem" for good.
