As early as fifth grade, I noticed I didn\u2019t look like the rest of my peers, and at 14, I attended my first weight loss meeting. I was by far the youngest person there. The then-trendy weight loss program, called Diet Center, involved weekly weigh-ins and an extremely restrictive eating plan of bland lean proteins and vegetables. And so began my life of dieting and fearing food.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my teens, 20s, and early 30s, I lost and gained the same 35 pounds over and over and over again. I tried every plan imaginable, from the Grapefruit Diet to the Soup Diet, and read as many diet books as I could get my hands on. While I could always lose the weight, I could never keep it off.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I <em>had<\/em> to follow a strict eating plan, and that if I wavered it even slightly, I was failing. So when I did waver, I became so distressed that I ate everything in sight. I fell into a cycle of restricting food, breaking down, overeating, and punishing myself by restricting all over again.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18963\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/cosette\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=960%2C1008&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,1008\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1437037020","copyright":"","focal_length":"4.15","iso":"250","shutter_speed":"0.066666666666667","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Cosette\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=286%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=740%2C777&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-18963 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=527%2C553&ssl=1\" alt width=\"527\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?w=960&ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=286%2C300&ssl=1 286w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=768%2C806&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=272%2C286&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=740%2C777&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18963\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/cosette\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=960%2C1008&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,1008\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1437037020","copyright":"","focal_length":"4.15","iso":"250","shutter_speed":"0.066666666666667","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Cosette\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=286%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?fit=740%2C777&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-18963 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20527%20553%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"527\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20527%20553%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 527w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?w=960&ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=286%2C300&ssl=1 286w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=768%2C806&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=272%2C286&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg?resize=740%2C777&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cosette.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>My relationship with food and my body only grew worse when I started a career as a Broadway actress and singer after finishing my Master\u2019s degree. I knew every extra pound could be the difference between landing a gig or losing it\u2014because agents and casting directors thought nothing of telling me I was too heavy for a role. Food, exercise, and my weight took over my life. I felt great when my weight was down and terrible when it was up. I was either eating plain grilled chicken with salad and exercising for hours a day, or chowing down on anything I felt like and not exercising at all. Healthy balance felt impossible.<\/p>\n<p>After 10 years in theater, I\u2019d had enough. As I walked away from that career, I finally felt free from the constant pressure to be as thin as possible. So what did I do? I completely abandoned exercise and gave in to every temptation, binging on all the food I\u2019d spent a decade trying to deprive myself of. I gained 35 pounds\u2014<em>fast<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18964\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/liz-before-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=270%2C396&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"270,396\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"Lauren DelTurco","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1528366503","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Liz Before 1\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=205%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=270%2C396&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18964 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?resize=270%2C396&ssl=1\" alt width=\"270\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?w=270&ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?resize=205%2C300&ssl=1 205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18964\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/liz-before-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=270%2C396&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"270,396\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"Lauren DelTurco","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1528366503","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Liz Before 1\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=205%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?fit=270%2C396&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18964 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20270%20396%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"270\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20270%20396%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?w=270&ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg?resize=205%2C300&ssl=1 205w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Liz-Before-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Again, I was desperate\u2014but I realized I would never live a healthy, fulfilled life, or maintain a weight I felt good about, with my extreme approach to food and exercise. So, after reading about their flexible, realistic eating plan, I decided to give Weight Watchers a try. Throughout the next five months, I finally shared my insecurities, unhealthy behaviors, and fears at support meetings, which was a huge weight off of my shoulders. I enjoyed pizza, occasional desserts, and wine (all workable in the Weight Watchers program), and shed the weight I\u2019d gained.<\/p>\n<p>I felt like I\u2019d found a family of other people who had struggled the way I did, and the positive environment helped me maintain my weight loss for the first time in my life. When a receptionist job opened up at the company, I applied, thinking it would be a temporary gig. Quickly, though, I became a meeting leader, running 17 group support meetings a week, and found myself helping launch the Weight Watchers website.<\/p>\n<p>As the months and years passed, and I was able to consistently wear the same size clothing, my confidence grew, and my yo-yo ways of the past finally faded. I realized that one slip-up did not have to lead to days or weeks of binging, and that I could return to my healthy eating patterns at my next meal. My life fell into a balance: Instead of thinking of workouts as erasers of bad food choices, I exercised joyfully, savoring walks outside, jogs, and kickboxing. I packed healthy snacks (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/nuts-trail-mix\/N-cp99lk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuts<\/a> or hummus and veggies) for work, and discovered my go-to recipes (like ground turkey and tomato sauce over spaghetti squash). The more consistent my routine became, the easier it was to sprinkle in indulgences without going overboard. Finally, I realized what it meant to be healthy.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18965\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/weight-watchers\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=1155%2C770&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1155,770\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Weight Watchers\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=740%2C494&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-18965 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=554%2C369&ssl=1\" alt width=\"554\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?w=1155&ssl=1 1155w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=272%2C181&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=740%2C493&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18965\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/liz-josefsberg-weight-loss-journey\/weight-watchers\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=1155%2C770&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1155,770\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"Weight Watchers\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?fit=740%2C494&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\" wp-image-18965 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20554%20369%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"554\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20554%20369%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?w=1155&ssl=1 1155w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=272%2C181&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg?resize=740%2C493&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Weight-Watchers.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>After nearly eight years with Weight Watchers\u2014during which I had two beautiful sons and successfully lost 50-plus pounds of pregnancy weight, twice\u2014I became their Director of Brand Advocacy and National Spokesperson, appearing on programs like <em>Dr. Oz<\/em>, <em>Oprah,<\/em> and <em>Good Morning America<\/em> and collecting success stories from members across the country to be featured on our website and in our magazine. I flew from New York to Los Angeles every week to lead meetings for Jessica Simpson and a dozen of her friends and relatives, helped Katie Couric negotiate a healthier on-set buffet table as a newly-minted news anchor, and assured Jennifer Hudson that she <em>could<\/em> indeed fit Buffalo wings into her meal plan.<\/p>\n<p>It was a rush, and forced me to really step up my own weight maintenance skills as I navigated constant travel, jet lag, time zone changes, and new stress.

I studied to become a certified personal trainer and nutrition exercise specialist, and have since consulted for weight loss and wellness companies all over the world, and helped all kinds of clients\u2014from celebrities and CEOs to stay-at-home parents\u2014achieve their health and fitness goals.<\/p>\n<p>I think my personal weight loss journey has helped me better understand and support others\u2014and just as my career develops, so does my personal health journey. As I learn and grow, I am constantly fine-tuning my strategy for maintaining a healthy weight and attitude. Maintenance is an active process, and if you want to continue to see success long-term, you have to keep your eyes open to the ever-changing landscape of your life! Sure, as I get older I may not be able to drink as much wine as I used to, or have as much for dinner as my growing sons, but these days I\u2019m excited to find out where my next chapter will take me, and I know that health will be a part of who I am forever.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17968\"
