Another factormy weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating.

I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes. 　

My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught myin a mirror and the truthme: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and. 　

After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-lossand realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge,the dietmy hunger and not feel deprived. 　

　My biggestwas finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen tomyself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about.had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found theafter reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.
