Tackling the Weight Battle I remember as a child loving food. While growing up, I had no brothers or sisters to compete with; therefore, I tried to compete with my dad to be the first to get second helpings. I remember being sort of “chunky” most of the time, but as a young child, this didn’t really concern me so much. The only one that seemed concerned was the nurse at my school during my 6th grade year. I had reached the awesome weight of 100 pounds! Thankfully, as I hit my teenage years, I took a big U-turn.

To my big relief, I weighed 5 lbs less than the last time I had climbed on that scale which was before all the holidays. Did I avoid eating? Uh…I would like to say that I turned my head and snubbed all those tempting foods, but even a mouse has a hard time resisting stepping onto the mouse trap when there is savory food right before him. I would say that I…
