My last blog post was in 2014. That post nine years ago detailed my weight loss of 76 pounds by using a combination of two cosmetic surgeries (breast reduction and tummy tuck) and a successful diet. My highest weight ever was 254 (the morning I gave birth to Max). In the nine years since, the weight came back even though the surgeries helped. I settled at around 230. Way too high again. Finally in 2019 and had tons of tests done to determine if I had food allergies and to investigate my IBS problems. I went on a serious diet of gluten free foods and ate much smaller portions. Lost 60 lbs. Sugar is still my weakness, but I’ve gotten pretty good at eating less and eating clean. I'm at about 170 now with the goal of 140-150. Feeling great. I'm 5'7" and wearing a size 6 jeans, size 8 dress. I've kept the weight off for 18 months. Hoping for much longer this time.
