When I saw you at BWE I knew something was different. Clearly 16 pounds makes a big difference! I suppose that was apparent when I almost walked by without recognizing you. I am on my own weight loss journey too and hearing about your success is inspirational! Leanne,

I can't ever seem to get it right. When I put it on, I put it on in all the places I don't want it. When I shed it, I shed it in all the places I wanted to keep it. AH! But it is such a good feeling when you finally get things a little under control too. When I'm being good and sticking to the vegetarian thing pretty closely, the world just seems to be a better place. Mainly, I feel good. I'm so glad to hear you are working your way back to "feeling good," Leanne. You are such an inspiration in MANY ways, on MANY levels. Keep showing the way, girl! ;) It IS such an emotional rollercoaster to work so hard and know that you don’t have much lee-way to mess around. I can’t ever seem to get it right.

Yes, being tall definitely helps but does catch up with us at some point.

I think being tall helps us hide the extra pounds in the beginning. But then when they keep coming on it gets harder and harder to mask the gain. I quit hopping on the scales every day because it would be very frustrating to have only eaten 900 calories the day before and not have lost anything. Now I only weigh myself every 3 days or so.

I read your post and all I could think was "she is describing me to a tee". I too have battled this awful yo-yo of weight gain and loss all my life with the same culprits, the number one being BREAD! (very hard to cut that out). I wanted to thank you for all of us that have been struggling to keep the weight off all of our lives. It is hard to believe that how you look, you could possibly be in this category...YOU TRULY DON'T LOOK IT LEANNE! but are an inspiration and now I and hopefully many others will have to "buckle down" and follow your lead (just like watching Biggest Loser) everyone needs a little push and your well written article does just that! Congratulations on your goal thus far and thanks again for the inspiration to keep trying. I know it's all in how you feel about yourself but please know that I can't see you being in this league....YOU LOOK FABULOUS! :) You and I could be sisters “seriously”!
