At the time, I was nearing the end of my third pregnancy and obviously car- rying a lot of added weight. I told myself that after I had the baby and finished nursing I was going to give Total Health a serious try. I had no idea how much it would change my life. I'm 5 feet, 10 inches and have never been ve7 skinny, always leaning more toward the athletic side. I had been a size 6 and never weighed more than 135-145 lbs. I was very active in sports in high school and fell into the bad habit of being able to eat anything I wanted without really giving it much thought, because I burned it all off through exercise.
