My Resume
I am working on my resume because I am looking to change my job within the company I work for. I need to secure my employment for the next few years or so. But it made me think about something else. What’s my resume for weight loss and physical health? How would I measure up if I were applying for the job of losing and keeping off excess pounds to secure my future health?
Well it looks like this:
Education and training:
Nutritionist/Dietician – Worked with nutritionists in 1976, 1993, and 2005 regarding dietary needs and healthy portions. The earlier two were related to pregnancy, the latter was strictly for weight loss.
Physical Training – Active Bally’s member from 1990-2005 Eagle Fitness 2005 to present (Attendance slacked considerably during 2000-2005)
Books/research – The South Beach Diet; Outwit Your Weight; Natural Baby Food Cookbook (really good information on nutrition and digestion); Overeater’s Anonymous (several books); The Choice is Yours (and other TOPS books and literature); From the First Bite; Subscribed and read Fitness magazine from 1999-2003; various other magazines, books etc.
Experience
1990 – 1993 – Went from 162 to 135 after joining Bally’s and exercising daily, while reducing food intake. Crept back up to around 150 or so but still at a very healthy size.
1993 – Maintained a healthy pregnancy, swimming regularly and gaining a normal amount of weight. Had risk of gestational diabetes in latter trimester and went on the diabetic diet. Was successful in adhering to that program.
1995 – Decided to take off some extra pounds and lost 13 on the “soup diet” Something I no longer recommend to anyone.
1999 – Went from 172 to 156 using a program based on a balanced diet and low sugar foods (glycemic index)
2000 – 2002 Gained a big chunk of weight did nothing about it.
2002 Joined TOPS and lost 14 pounds.
2003 Gained back the pounds I lost at TOPS plus more.
2004 Tried South Beach diet - lost a few pounds here and there but gained them back
2005 – present – Steady but slow decline in weight of about 15-20 pounds since January of 2005. Some fluctuations but overall have not made significant gains in the wrong direction. Have made progress in identifying underlying issues that contribute to weight gain. Looking more to recovery programs for eating disorders and their materials than diets and diet clubs. More focus on behavior modification and underlying issues.
Not sure what all this means yet, but I decided I needed to do it.

I am impressed that you can remember all that so clearly.
I am still attempting to track down all my weights (blogged about it a few weeks back) from all the various years. And, it is like I am reading about someone else - I don't remember lots of it. Not like - I don't WANT to remember it - more like - I Wasn't Paying Any Attention. Which I am SURE I wasn't - or I wouldn't have REGAINED - right?
