A Tale of the Expanding Waistline

So...heres the scoop. I came into college teetering around the 190lb mark, which I was satisfied with for the time being. Then over the next 3 semesters I wound up gaining the "Freshman 15", not from excess drinking like most college freshman (actually I don't drink at all...that seems important to add here) but from all of the extra food that I was eating at random times because of my new freedoms. So, in the spring of my sophomore year, I decided to combat this evil. I stopped drinking soda as of January 2005 (thats 3 years for you non-math majors ;)and began eating smaller portions. Running also became a new hobby of mine. Well, I saw the affects of my labor by that summer when I was down to 175...whoot whoot!!! Alas, I once again fell into the trap of eating too much, while at the same time running less and less, which has caused those pounds to be packed back on. It is once again my goal to work on shedding those excess pounds and get back down to where I was two years ago.
