Like many former smokers, Linda Shaw discovered that kicking the habit brought some unwanted pounds.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really start gaining weight until 2007 when I stopped smoking,\u201d the Auburn-area woman says. But the improved health easily outweighed concerns about her waistline. \u201cI want to live. I want to watch those grand babies grow up!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But over the years, the numbers on her scale just kept creeping up. Finally, her primary care doctor asked if she\u2019d like a referral to the\u00a0MultiCare Center for Weight Loss & Wellness<\/a>. \u201cI just couldn\u2019t stick to anything diet-wise,\u201d Shaw says.<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t sure but decided to give the medical weight-loss program a try. \u201cIt changed my life,\u201d Shaw says. \u201cIt\u2019s the best referral she ever made for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was dubious at her first appointment. \u201cBut when I went back and I had lost weight I was very encouraged,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Sticking with the tips and recommendations from her doctor and dietitian, Shaw has lost 54 pounds from her 4\u201911\u201d frame. She didn\u2019t grasp what that meant until recently. \u201cWe\u2019ve got farm animals and the other day I had to pick up a 50-pound bag of chicken feed and I thought, \u2018Wow! This is what I\u2019ve lost!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw says she has much more energy than she did before losing weight. \u201cI feel like the Energizer Bunny sometimes; like I did when I was younger,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I have more self-confidence. I had gotten to the point that I was so self-conscious about going anywhere because I\u2019d gotten so heavy. I just kind of didn\u2019t want to leave the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, when she goes out and she runs into someone she hasn\u2019t seen for some time, she loves their reaction. \u201cThey\u2019re just in shock. And when you get that compliment or that \u2018Whoa!\u2019 it\u2019s just so uplifting.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also needed to do some shopping. \u201cYou lose all this weight and you start changing your clothing size and your face thins out and your feet thin out,\u201d she says. \u201cWho would have thought? I\u2019ve got all these shoes that are too wide!\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw says the staff at the Center for Weight Loss & Wellness were just the right mix of supportive and frank about what she needed to do. \u201cI just love my dietitian,\u201d she says. \u201cShe gives you suggestions and she\u2019ll listen to you whine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw\u2019s biggest change was to her snacking. She had a strong milk and cookie habit that she replaced with veggies and balsamic vinegar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Oreos and milk and I can finish off that whole bag,\u201d she says. Her daughter recently dropped by and had some Oreos. \u201cShe said, \u2018Mom, have one.\u2019 Finally, I said OK. And I ate that one and that was it \u2013 and no milk.\u201d Knowing she could stop at one was better than any bag of cookies, she says.<\/p>\n

And after several months on the program, \u201cI don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m on a diet anymore,\u201d she says. She continues to watch what she eats and make healthier swaps. \u201cOver time you really learn more about food,\u201d she says. \u201cCarbs, sadly, are not your friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she says she\u2019s also learned that cheat days are OK. \u201cJust get back on task,\u201d she says. \u201cI still don\u2019t eat a lot of carbs, and vegetables are whatever you can eat\u2026 most of them. You do have cheat days and it\u2019s OK as long as you get back on task.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw says chocolate is her weakness, \u201cBut when I cheat and have that piece of chocolate, it\u2019s dark chocolate now,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

As she approaches her 68th<\/sup>\u00a0birthday, Shaw says she\u2019s grateful for the referral that changed her life and encourages anyone thinking about it to give it a try. \u201cYou have to want to do it. It\u2019s probably not for everybody but I think everybody that\u2019s overweight should try.\u201d<\/p>\n
