The Rise & Fall of Beth's Scales
Beth's weight loss success story written by Beth
I would say I first started gaining weight when I was born (this is normal, right?). Seriously though, the trouble began long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away when I was 17 and bought my first car.
Throughout all of my teenage years, I had to walk 2 miles each way to school and then BAM!, I suddenly cut 4 miles of daily walking out of my routine. Mind you, I was 110 pounds then and a teenager and could not be concerned with gaining a measly 5 pounds.

The trouble continued when, after graduation from a secretarial
program at the technical college, I assumed my first desk job and stopped
working at the rollerskating rink where I had spent about 3 nights per week on
rollerskates. Hello, the next 5 pounds!
At the ripe old age of 21, I
made the bold decision to move across the country and rent a house with my
boyfriend and a roommate.
Can you say stress? It was also at about this point I
figured I could eat the same portions as my boyfriend. What do you know? 5 more
pounds. (Sneaky little buggers, aren't they?)
At 22, I moved back to my
home town (yeah, the whole across the country thing didn't work out so well) and
said hello to my first diet at all of 125 pounds. I did manage to lose 10 pounds
that time by basically going vegetarian and cutting every bit of fat out that I
could.
Well, I basically starved myself, but I was down to 115 again...for like
a week! Nobody could uphold this diet, especially me, who could never, ever, go
vegetarian.
We all know the old song and dance from here...back up to
125, down to 120, up to 130, down to 125, up to 135, up to 140! Over a span of
eight years, I had yo-yoed myself to an all-time high of 142 pounds after
Christmas 2001.
Of course, I was certain that the key was exercise and had tried the YMCA and Curves for a few years. I had great muscle...too bad you couldn't see it anymore!
