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.

I
Since I only wanted to sample it, I purchased a one weeks' supply of Nutrisystem food that was frozen and their top of the line product a year ago in order see if there was any truth in their ads. The cost for the week was $141, since I did not buy a months' supply.   It was four levels under what I could have purchased in the super markets taste wise.It is the customer's responsibility to purchase fresh produce and beverages on their plans.

                                6 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY DOING IT MY WAY

1.  Stock up on your favorite frozen meals when they are on sale.
2.  Shop for fresh produce at your favorite stand. (they are usually better and less expensive than a super market.
3.  Frozen vegetables are often 50% off..Watch the sales.
4.  There are many frozen pops and sugar free puddings from 15 to 50 calories each.
5.   Keep in mind that you do not have eat all frozen of prepared food.  If you get bored, you can 
purchase ready made salads or prepare your own. 
6.  You can also look up the calorie counts on the internet when you dine out if you are not saddled to having your food sent to you.  Can you picture bringing a cooked frozen dinner with you when you go out to eat?
