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 LOVE LETTER FROM A DIET MASTERS MEMBER

IN 1996 I HAD A FANTASTIC PARTY TO CELEBRATE DIET MASTERS 25TH ANNIVERSARY. WE HAD WONDERFUL LOW CALORIE FOOD MADE BY MY FRIEND AND TALENTED CHEF, 'LOW CAL LEO', ENTERTAINERS AND LINE DANCING.

My members surprised me by writing complimentary letters and I saved them just like a mother saves birthday cards from their children or love letters from their spouse.

I would like to say that without Louise I'd still be miserable and unhappy with myself.  Due to the wonderful program and a great lady, I am glad to say that I lost 35 pounds and I am on maintenance over a year now. 


I found this program to be so easy to follow and with Louise's information and great kindness, I found it to be easy to lose the weight and keep it off. Her knowledge of food and calories and her advice on how to combine certain foods has kept me happy and content. I now look great and feel great.


I have sent many of my friends to Diet Masters.  Louise is a caring, understanding  person and whenever someone compliments me, I say that without her, I never could have made it.


Thank you again for making my life and looks better.  


Best regards,
Sandra Wittlin
