...shed the extra 100 lbs. she carried on her 5-ft. 9-in. frame. But the weight had always been hard to take off and had always come back. This time seemed different. In her first two months on her new regimen, Dorsett had dropped 40 lbs., and she swore she would lose 60 more by the end of the year. If she was going to fall off the wagon, though, it would probably be here, at one of her favorite restaurants. But try as she might, Dorsett couldn't even finish her potato, the most tempting part...
