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.

SIX LESSONS FROM MADAM MAZONGA


Sort of a strange title for a blog about dieting?  Maybe not.  Going back into history in the "I Love Lucy" days, there was a popular song and dance where people would get into a long line and hold onto each other waists and dance...It went, one, two, three kick. The song in those days started "Six Lessons From Madam Mazonga, you'll do the Conga, and not anything wronga".
I think that this blog is going to help you have positive thoughts and new energy to stay on your diet or sensible eating pattern and never give up.  If you trip on your road to slimness  I want to give you the strength and desire and knowledge to pick yourself up and continue again, and again and again.  I helped thousands of people to successfully lose weight in the 40 years I was in business and I want to continue doing this with my blog.
If you are not comfortable posting material on my blog send me an email at hllawhon@aol.com and I will either answer you or post the question and answer on my blog without mentioning your name.
I have been known as The Diet Lady, The Diet Master and maybe now the Pied Piper of Dieting...Just come with me to the land of thin, the door is open, I'll help you in. Tell your friends and relatives about the blog .
