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 NICE AFTERNOON TO SEND MORE "POEMS TO LOSE WEIGHT BY"

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A FEW MORE REQUESTS FROM MY BLOG READERS  TO POST SOME MORE POEMS.  THEY WILL HELP US MAKE A SERIOUS SUBJECT LIGHT OF HEART.   


                WARNING
Beware, my friends, that luscious cake!
It may not give you a bellyache
Nor spot your face with ugly pimples
But it will surely plump your dimples.
And make you fat where you were thin
And even bring on a double chin.

Beware my friends, potatoes fried!
A handful will destroy your pride.
And add some padding to your hips
Avoid them every night and noon
Or you'll resemble a big balloon!
 
             OFF
                                              
 My cat wears a collar
To keep away fleas
And my insect repellent
Scares off gnats and bees.
So, since they've invented
Repellents like that
Why not a repellent
To keep away fat?
 
 RECOGNITION

 I have come to realize
That in order to cut me down to size,
I would be extremely wise
To sacrifice those pecan pies.
