There's no quick fix. You have to work hard for whatever weight loss you have.

Those are small, little triumphs.

I do remember being that heavy. And that's a good thing. I hope it will keep me from going back there.

It was better than being a size 26.

I never dreamed of revealing my weight ever. It's kind of a taboo subject for women.

It feels pretty crazy. I never imagined all this attention. I was just trying to get healthy for myself.
