As women reach middle age, many will gain about 1 pound (0.5kg) a year (1).

Living at a healthy weight is something that I reached. It did not come naturally to me due to a genetic advantage.
Back when I felt stuck, I had a great story to explain to myself and the world why I couldn’t change. I was raising a family, there were work and financial pressures, other family members wanted junk food in the house, and even if I got out of the house, social gatherings kept the cards stacked against me. I had my story well-rehearsed and could find plenty of evidence to defend it. So, I held onto it and spent many years being right and feeling miserable.
If you lose weight only to gain it back, you feel stuck, or you are simply looking for a way to make weight control easier, it is worth taking a look at your story. We’ll do that in this blog post.
