I went on a 2,000-calorie diet, and Marty and I walked every night for twenty minutes. No gastric bypass. Nothing extreme. In four months, I lost ninety pounds and I felt great. Marty was helpful on the diet and never tried to sabotage me. But then, losing weight got hard again. I told a friend I couldn’t do it on my own anymore. I was falling back into old patterns. She told me I should start going to a support group. I found one that was held in a place I passed by every morning, but honestly, it was like I magically arrived right where I needed to be.
