Former Milf Turned Cow Rationalizes Weight Gain; Blames Everything But Herself

My weight went up and down over the years. Way up, like the bottom photo. Way down, like the top photo. It's been kind of like a rollercoaster, only way less fun. [...]
I attained the physique in the "after" photo after losing one sweet baby girl; after being married, divorced, married; after a half dozen moves; after a broken leg and a broken ankle; after catching a dozen babies not my own as a labor and delivery nurse; after ushering more than a dozen people into death as a hospice nurse.
The other body you see there, the body of "physical hotness," I attained by eating a "plentiful" 1,000 calories a day; by running 35 miles a week (10 on Sunday); by sleeping an average of three hours a day; by counting every bit of food I ate, down to a single cherry tomato; by writing and tracking my weight every day for a year; by running the stairs of the hospital during my 12-hour shifts; by losing my period; by denying myself food when I was hungry; by denying myself sleep.
Shame that, either because she didn't know how or because of too many pressures in her life, she didn't attain a healthy balance. Sleeeping too little doesn't make you lose weight, but rather is conducive to obesity. Tons of cardio and a starvation diet probably screwed up her metabolism; her weight yo-yoing up and down, the same.
I do have sympathy for women whose bodies aren't naturally inclined to slimness, who have to go to such extremes to be slim. But I am not interested in dating them.
