TOD: Most weight gain? After I quit smoking. I don't know often weigh myself, so I don't have actually poundage for that, but it was about four added inches in the waist.
Weight loss: This one I did measure. I went on a raw-food diet, which I loved. I lost 21 pounds in three weeks. I had more energy than I ever had and I slept better than I had in years. Just shedding all those carbohydrates was a real blessing. I also lost five inches around the waist. I was going to keep it up, at least partially, for a while, but our boss decided we needed to do a revamp and updating of all the major restaurants in the city and I found myself eating out more than 10 times a week. All the weight came back on, etc. I keep promising myself I'll go back to raw food at least part of the time, but I haven't.
