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.

HOW CAN YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF


IT ALL STARTS HERE

Permanent weight loss doesn't happen overnight. You need a new way to manage food. Read the posts and re-read them from time to time. This material is filled with hints. I want to teach you how to handle temptation with knowledge; not suffering.

Hint:1 When you are ready to devour a fattening snack talk to yourself and say, "I want to lose weight more than anything else". Throw that food away. Ok...you can snip off a very small bite before throwing it way!
Hint:2 If you recently ate, and still think you feel hungry, follow my advice. Hunger pangs usually last less than 7 minutes. Try this idea: call a friend or take a 10 minute walk or get on you stationery bike and chances are, you will no longer feel hungry.
Hint: 3 What do the following words mean? Losing weight is never final. It means that you should be careful not to overeat and go back to the habits that put your excess weight on.
Hint:4 Eat food that you enjoy that is right for you. Stop equating losing weight with hard work. Start thinking:
"This is a new way of life for me...THE HEALTHY, HAPPY WAY OF EATING.
WOW....LOSING WEIGHT AND KEEPING IT OFF (FOR 40 YEARS) WITHOUT DIETING IS JUST LIKE LOOKING FOR A BURIED TREASURE ALL OF MY LIFE AND FINALLY FINDING IT.
