At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to__bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of diets but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my weight.

____I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would run into the same difficulties that beat me before.
