I am a 42 years old woman. My weight was always around 62-65 kg, sometimes I put on a bit more, but within a few weeks I could always easily get back into shape.

Two years ago I started to put on a lot of weight. I have been sitting a lot with a minimal of exercise. I was also stressed and emotionally not too well. Of course I noticed that I was gaining weight: my clothes being the most obvious signs, and also sometimes a photo was a shocking view. But somehow I still saw myself as the okay-shaped woman. I just didn't admit that I became overweight and fat. I was around 80 kg, or even more. I never stepped on the scale...

Last year I was doing a lot of yoga, which helped me a lot, but it was not enough to lose weight. I eat healthy generally with heaps of vegetables, little meat, but I love bread... Also, there was one thing that I only learned later: eating healthy does not mean to lose weight, because I can eat way too much healthy food...

I had two turning points at the beginning of this year. I started to go to the gym around January. I was only walking briskly on the thread machine, but it felt good. Once after the gym I looked into the mirror and suddenly I saw the extra weight on my body. It was as I saw it for the first time. I accepted and at the same time it was just pure love to myself that I felt, and that helped me to face the situation fully.

Not too much time after I ordered a new passport and the photo was shocking. Then I started to check on diets and I learned about RDI and counting calories and this is how I found FatSecret. It works for me so well, because I eat whatever I like and all I have to do is to pay attention for the numbers.
