DIET MASTERS

DIETMASTERS


MY YEARS AS A FOOD ADDICT

I was a heavy eater by the time I was 5 years old, only it was called a "healthy appetite" in those days, and they called me cute and chubby. By the time I was 18 I was a compulsive overeater. At 5'6", my weight ranged between 125 to 149, but only because I spent part of almost every month on some diet or another. I must have gained and lost more than 500 pounds on various crash diets before I turned 40.I could eat 3 half gallons of ice cream a week and 3 candy bars at the movies. At my favorite Oriental buffet I would start with 6 egg rolls and fill my plate (and myself) so much that the owners lost money. No matter what diet I tried, I dreamed of my next “fix”… boxes of cookies, bags of potato chips or maybe a whole pizza.I’ve always been an upbeat person with a good marriage, two children, and close friends, but on my 40th birthday I was feeling depressed. I took a walk on the beach and realized that my compulsive eating had to stop. I decided that I wanted peace more than pizza and vowed to put my extensive dieting knowledge to work. I re-read all of my material on the subject and designed a way of eating that would satisfy me and finally curb my appetite. My determination paid off in spades and changed my life. The numbers on the scale remained below 130 and before I knew it, I was helping curious friends and neighbors. That was the beginning of a long and exciting career founding and directing Diet Masters, teaching dieting classes and low calorie cooking and even self publishing 6 dieting books. Best of all, my weight has been stable between 124 and 129 for 39 years while I eat food that I enjoy.

Words Of Wisdom

It is the first week of January 2012.  Whether you want to lose as little as 5 pounds or as much as 125, you have vowed to reach your goal.  A positive attitude is important, but you need many more tools to help you.

Keep food out of the house that you can't control....It may not be as easy as that if your spouse adamant about having his favorite butter pecan ice cream in the freezer.  One solution would be to get something in the house that would be a good substute...Do I mean another man??  Hardly!!!   Try Healthy Choice mocha  swirl bars that are delicious and only 90 calories each.  Another would be to purchase 15 calorie popscile bars and allow yourself 3 in one day..

I plan to have hints or words of wisdom on this blog several times a week during January. Send your questions and thoughts on my blog or Email which is advice@losewithlouise.com.
