This was me, Linda Castor, in 1992, when my weight issues were out-of-control!  I gained 5 times the normal expected weight gain that most women experience.  I was partially in denial about how big I was getting, so I was thankful when my doctor didn't pressure me too much about losing weight.  I was also in denial about being emotionally abused throughout my five year marriage.  After the birth of my daughter, my weight issues finally became crystal clear to me.  I couldn't feel my legs due to the epidural, and so for the first time, I came to terms with the "whale legs" attached to my body.  I thought, "What happened to me?  And how did I get from 115 lbs. to 220?"  I was shocked. 

               I soon learned that I had to deal with external pressures that were triggering my internal issues.  Without counseling, it took me five years to build up the courage to leave the marriage, and my daughter and I finally left that emotionally abusive environment.  My parents provided a supportive home and nurtured me back into physical and emotional health.  I was able to take care of my body and soul and slowly took the weight off on my own.  Had I known about what Nancy and I teach today in workshops, I would have lost the weight much faster and had the support I was looking for during that agonizing five-year period of feeling lost, like a "shell" of a person.
