She knew she was at an unhealthy weight, but did not want to put in the effort to do anything about it. For an event she would lose 10 or so pounds with fad diets, but then she would always gain the weight right back after the event. In August 2011 at the age of 41, she decided to try again and not give up this time. She realized that losing and maintaining weight are lifestyle changes, not just a temporary diet. By January 2013, she had lost 100 pounds and as of today she is still enjoying her healthier lifestyle to the fullest.
