READER’S QUESTION: “Over the past year, I have lost 100 pounds and gone from a size 20/22 to a size 10, purely through diet and exercise (no meds or surgery). I am 5'10", currently about 26% body fat. I still have a bit further to go, but fitness is now a big part of my life, and I am very proactive about tracking calories and workouts. I haven't had sugar since July 2022 and am still relatively low carb (no bread, pasta, etc.). Most significantly, I have done a lot of prayer/journaling exercises working through some of the shaming and emotional issues that were keeping me trapped in a binge eating yoyo cycle. Everyone who knows me says I seem happier and more vibrant and more confident.
