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.

A BRIBE THAT I CANNOT IGNORE

I JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A READER WITH A REQUEST FOR MORE POEMS
Hi Louise,

I was ready to cheat on my diet yesterday and started to read your two poems and it put me on the straight and narrow. Could you please..please..write some more on your next post! If you will do this favor for me, I will make make a written vow to stay on my diet 100% for a full week and tape it onto my refrigerator.

Thanks, Charlotte

Dear Charlotte,

That sounds a little like blackmail but for the sake of weight loss, I am going to supply you and the rest of my readers with two good ones. Please send me another email a week from tomorrow and let me know how it went.

Rooting for you gal,
The diet lady

SONG: (MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN)

My body is all too well rounded,
I wish that I knew what to do.
You would be simply astounded,
At the things I've been through.

CHORUS: Bring back, bring back,
The curves that I lost yesterday.
Take back, take back,
The pounds that keep coming my way.

I've had every shot known to mankind,
And pills, yellow, pink, green and blue.
I think that I'll have to try magic,
Oh, where can I learn some voodoo?

REPEAT CHORUS.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

QUESTION

My bank account is awfully slim.
Why isn't that the shape I'm in?

Note: Charlotte, I am giving you an extra poem as you might think that because the second one was short I did not for fill my share of the bargain.

TRUTH

There's a special niche in Hades
Reserved for Cousin Kate.
Who, everytime she sees me, says,
"Say, aren't you gaining weight?"
