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.

RESISTING TEMPTATION =SUCCESS IN DIETING

MY MIND IS FULL OF IDEAS THAT WILL ASSIST YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS

Write the reasons why you want to lose weight in a note book or, better still, clip the list onto your refrigerator.

EXAMPLES: To feel better about yourself....to have better health...to please that certain person in your life....to fit into your lovely clothes that are too tight.
hint: Hang one of your favorite outfits that are too snug on the back of your door and try it on from time to time as the pounds are melting. What a blissful feeling that will give you!

Analyse what your high satisfaction foods are that you can control. For me, it is a delicious sandwich that is under 250 calories for lunch and or dinner along with my choice of a salad or fruit or some rinsed cole slaw or all three of them, which would just total under 400 calories for your meal.

I have another great idea that many of you might LOVE. It is some recipes for baked stuffed main course potatoes..I will feature a few of them in one of my posts soon.
