<p>For me, it really was not realizing that I couldn’t blame snug clothing on the dryer (never had a weight problem before & was always comfortable in my clothing). I realized also that the dorm cafe just had way too much food & I needed to pace myself & just eat appropriately rather than like there was no tomorrow. Mindfulness worked for me and I got back to the same weight I had been for many years prior to college & stayed there. We do have choices about how fit or not we decide to stay, especially if we’re not planning on starting any family soon.</p>
