She&#8217;s down 40 pounds now, weighing in at 225, with a goal weight of 200.  At 5&#8217;6&#8243;, she&#8217;s still no skinny-minny nor is it her plan to be one!<br \/>\nThere has been some speculation that she underwent gastric by-pass surgery, which she denies.  But you know what &#8230; it matters not.  Because, however you might lose it, if you want to keep it off, then you have to cultivate a new life-style, change your relationship to food, and most importantly change your relationship with yourself.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s right &#8230; in order to permanently remove weight you must explore your belief systems, change the way you think, act and eat.  Whether you want to weigh 200 pounds or 150 pounds or even 100 pounds, internal work must be done.
