DIET MASTERS

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.

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR WAY OF EATING

Not all of the following hints will work for you, but it is worth a try. If you can't control snacking on a certain fattening food that is in the refrigerator, freeze it. If you begin visiting the freezer for tastes; DUMP IT. Better to be in the garbage than in your stomach adding pounds.

Plan to order the right restaurant meal choice as a TRIBUTE TO LOUISE and whisper in your mind,
"See Louise, I'm ordering all the right foods for you." (Do not send me the bill.)

Don't finish a meal with the following feeling or thoughts. "Why did I eat so much or why did I eat so fast!"

If you feel that you need cake on your birthday, treat yourself to a small cup cake.

WOW When you are tempted to overeat fattening foods and seem to be nibbling all day long: say to yourself, "If I continue to eat like this, I am giving up my chance to lose weight this week."
