I have struggled with my weight my whole life. By the time I was in the 8th grade, I weighed in at 177 pounds. I still remember that weight, because it was just such a shock to see that number being so young. After my mom finally admitted that it was no longer a matter of baby fat, she decided to put us both on a diet. I did end up losing about 60 pounds with her help, but during my early adult years my weight fluctuated more than the weather. I became desperate and tried every single diet that came out. Each of them would help me shed a few pounds, but they were just so radical that as soon as I hopped off of one, I had to immediately hop onto another.

I soon became obsessed with my weight and with food—so obsessed, in fact, that in college I suffered from anorexia because I had actually became afraid to eat. My daily consumption was usually a bite of egg and maybe half an apple. It wasn't until I became pregnant with my first child that I put my own weight issues aside and quit worrying about my weight—but that's when it really piled on.

My husband Joey and I have three children: a daughter, Bailee, who's 9 years old; a son, Brent, who's 7; and our youngest Bethany who's 4 years old. With each of the three pregnancies I gained the following weight (respectively): 35, 45, and 20 pounds, and in between each pregnancy it was the same story every time: try the newest fad diet.

Finally, after the birth of my third child, I decided that I was just so tired of hopping from one diet to another. The thought of doing something radical and obsessing about calories, points, carb grams, or food groups was just way too overwhelming. I was ready to make a change—for good. The breaking point was when my oldest asked me to taste one bite of popcorn but I wouldn't because of its carb count. After I told her I "couldn't" she immediately jumped up and ran to the mirror and said, "Is this popcorn making me fat?" I realized I couldn't go on like that. Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law had done Nutrasystem and had phenomenal results. I kept looking at the site and reading all the reviews until something just clicked inside me that told me "this" was it. I ordered my food and the rest is history. I lost 35 pounds* with Nutrasystem.

My absolute favorite thing about the program was the food! I swear it felt like Christmas every time the FedEx guy showed up. I loved anticipating my meals. It was so nice to actually get enjoyment out of eating again. Of course the whole ease of the program is worth its weight in gold. It was nice not to have to obsess about what I was eating, but merely pull out a packaged meal and eat it. The mental burden that was lifted was amazing!

It's funny…you know, the most challenging thing about being on Nutrasystem was telling myself this diet wasn't "temporary." With other programs, I had it in my head that once I lost the weight then I would find something else to maintain it. But this time it was different. Plus, it was also extremely challenging for me not to worry about carbs, fat grams, or calories any more—it was really difficult to let those old diet rules go. I guess I'd have to say that I struggled with the new mentality that with Nutrasystem, I didn't have to worry about anything. As crazy as it sounds, I could tell you how to do any diet, but I couldn't really tell you how to eat healthy, until Nutrasystem.

My husband, especially, was relieved to know that I had lost the weight in such a healthy manner, although everyone else in my life was pretty much astonished, too. They have all seen me thin before, but they also knew the lengths I went to, to get there. And as for myself, as soon as I lost the weight, I started to actually appreciate my body again, but maybe more importantly, I started to appreciate my health. I began working out at a gym and was eventually hired on as a personal trainer! I now take pride in myself and have also opened my eyes to all of life that actually exists beyond dieting. It would not be an understatement to say that dieting has ruled the better part of my life, and only someone who has been in that position can truly appreciate the freedom felt when you no longer have to carry that burden. I've realized that life is way too short and far too precious to worry, to the point of obsession, about food.

Plus, now when I get compliments, it's a great feeling to know that having three kids doesn't lessen my appeal to others. I've never accepted the fact that just because you have kids, or get married, or any other reason—that it is an excuse to let your body go. Now, I love having people say, "You've had 3 kids?" Yes, I have! And it's extremely rewarding to be able to go outside and play with them and be able to keep up with them. I also love being able to tell my children that any food is healthy—in moderation.

I love it when women say to me, "Well, I can never look like you because I had a c-section," or "because I've had kids." I look at them and say, "So did I! And now that we have that excuse out of the way, it's time to get serious!"

For me these days, it's all about maintenance. I practice healthy eating 90% of the time and I don't stress about that rare 10% that might come my way. I try to exercise fairly regularly and always make sure to have a decent supply of Nutrasystem food on hand during those times I am in a hurry or just can't find anything to fix. I've made this my lifestyle and not just a diet; I truly believe that's the difference with Nutrasystem, and that difference is what ends the dieting cycle.

"As crazy as it sounds, I could tell you how to do any diet, but I couldn't really tell you how to eat healthy, until Nutrasystem."

To anyone out there who needs to lose weight, especially moms, I'd say don't let anyone tell you that you can't have your pre-pregnancy body...or better! Most importantly don't tell YOURSELF that either! Sure it might be challenging, but most things worth working for are. Just remember that sometimes the journey is more rewarding than the finish. I have learned so much about myself through the process of losing weight. It's just so worth it!
