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.

A FISHY STORY and a FRIGHTENING DELI STORY

I fell in love with Charley and told my husband right away. His name is Charley the Tuna...

Seriously, I feel that Starkist Albacore white tuna is the best . It delivers everything that they claim: fresher tasting, in water, no draining. The large size is 6.4 ounces and is 210 calories.
The foil package mentions that it serves 3 at 70 calories per serving. With such a low calorie count, why not just have half of the package. Try to purchase a mayo that is about 15 calories a tablespoon. Embellish it with chopped celery and onions if you wish, and serve it as a sandwich or a salad. If you made a sandwich with 40 calorie bread and lettuce and tomato slices the total calories would be under 250 calories.


CALORIES IN THE AVERAGE TUNA SALAD SANDWICH IN A DELI


The average tuna salad sandwich in a deli would be 830 calories with 56 grams of fat and
1,360 mg. of sodium. These numbers do not include any french fries or potato chips that may be on your plate.
