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.

"FOOD FOR THOUGHT"





IF YOU DON'T USUALLY KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF ONCE YOU LOSE IT...ANALYZE WHAT HABITS YOU HAD WITH FOOD THAT CAUSED YOU TO REGAIN THE WEIGHT AND CORRECT THE PATTERN. (read and re-read these important words)

MORE FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I will tell you my meaning of the following sentence.........

If you can't just taste a dessert don't touch it.

DEFINITION :

It means that you are tempted to have a little taste of a dessert but you know that once you start nibbling you end up eating almost the whole thing. You should not get started in the first place because it will ruin your diet.

There are ways to get around it. Throw most of it in the garbage FIRST and just enjoy the very small amount that is left. How can I even advice wasting such good food? Would it be better to eat it all and have it on YOUR WAIST and all over your body ?

There will come a day that you will be able to enjoy just an edge of that dessert and walk away from it. Believe me, no matter how addicted you are to desserts, you will one day be in control..I used to devour an 8X8 pan of nut brownies in one sitting. I just said "one sitting". It put a grin on my face; I should have said "standing." It seems that when we are overeating and devouring food we do it standing up.
