I'm featured on page 77 of the January issue, which is on sale now.
Be sure to pick up the January 2012 issue of Prevention magazine. In it, I share how I’ve kept over 100 pounds off for more than eight years along with four other inspirational women who’ve lost weight and stayed slim for years.
Here’s an excerpt from my story:
Put on her first diet by the early age of four by her family, Shannon Hammer grew up feeling as though her weight was constantly monitored. As a child, she’d rebel by sneaking food – a bite of cake here, a few cookies there – and then covering her tracks….One of her most vivid memories: finishing off a half-eaten pint of ice cream and running to the corner store to buy a new pint, then eating that to the halfway point to keep her family from knowing her shameful secret. “By the time I was thirty, I had tried every diet out there and even had taken laxatives and appetite suppressants – I still weighed 230 pounds,” says Hammer.
