Hello Reader, Part 1 of 3: There's More to This Success Story (Parts 2 and 3 will come to your inbox this week, or click here to read the whole story now.) To the outside world, I looked like the ultimate weight loss success story. I lost 100 pounds and maintained it for years. I ran 5Ks, then triathlons. It seemed like I had arrived. Behind the scenes, it was a different story. For years, I was still secretly binge eating, obsessing over food, and stuck in the same emotional eating patterns that had haunted me for decades. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still can't lose weight, you’re not alone. In this 3-part email series, I’m sharing the real story of why weight loss felt impossible for me (even after years of success), what finally helped me break free from the restrict-overeating cycle, and how you can find food peace, too. I've been honest about my journey of losing 100 pounds. It involved:
With therapy and by God's grace, I learned to approach food in a healthier way. It was a slow miracle. Still, it's a bit more complicated than a before-and-after photo shows... After I lost 80 pounds, I hit a years-long plateau. Like, 15 YEARS long. By sheer willpower, I lost enough weight to reach 100 pounds gone, but I couldn't stay there. Within a few weeks, I regained 20 pounds, which made me feel like a failure. Yes, eighty pounds gone was a huge accomplishment. I felt significantly better, and my habits were healthier. But I knew my relationship with food was not where I wanted it to be. People told me I should appreciate what I had achieved, but I was deeply unsatisfied. I was still engaging in unhealthy food behaviors that were not okay. Here I was, leading other people in weight loss. How could I admit that I was still struggling? I felt like a fraud.
