Hello, everyone. I have a little story to tell.
When I came to raw, I weighed 225lbs. When I saw Alissa on the Tyra show, I ordered her book that same day. The day the book came, I started on the diet, and I started releasing weigh rapidly. My energy was up, my asthma was going away, and I was floored by the results. I dropped to 175lbs, and plateaued. I did some research and decided to stop taking the birth control pills I had been taking since I was 15. The pounds just melted off. I maintained a weight between 140 and 150 from then until about a year ago when I split up with a boyfriend... The first boyfriend to ever move me away from my home town, my friends, my family, everything I had known. Thankfully I had a friend who found me a place to stay while I was grieving. During the process, I turned back to my old SAD habits, drowning depression in Monster and midnight meatball subs. I now find myself back at 175 pounds.
I have a wonderful new fiance, a job in the natural foods world, and I'm very happy. Unfortunately I can't seem to shed the weight again. I'm not back on the pill, but I don't know if there are other factors I might be missing. I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on the subject. I've been very careful, but I still feel like I'm missing something.
Any suggestions?
