“My niece told me this little secret, I guess it’s no secret, it’s a biological thing, that at some point when you’re eating, you have this involuntary sigh and that’s really your brain and your stomach communicating that you’ve had enough,” she said. “The trick is to pay attention to that and push your plate away.”

She’s also been avoiding junk food and soda which has helped her drop and keep the pounds off.

This was not an overnight thing for Kathy, however, as she said that the weight loss “took a few years,” while adding “I would say you have to be really patient … I don’t like the word willpower, but I like the word determination.”
