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.

THE NEGATIVE NEWS IN THE PAPER TODAY




IT READ: ''FORTY-TWO PERCENT OF AMERICANS WILL BE OBESE BY 2030''

I wonder if that was a statement or a warning. The article went on to list the many health problems that being obese can cause including sugar diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, to name a few. Many of these very overweight people are your dearest friends who you desperately want to help. One thing that you should never do, in my estimation, is to give them unasked for advice or to tell them of the dangers of being overweight. Most of these people know enough to be teaching classes on dieting but they need much more won't power to lose weight. Do not give up on YOUR OWN QUEST TO LOSE WEIGHT Keep trying!!
There is a 'land of thin,' and I hope to be instrumental in helping you in.
