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.

MAKE A LIST OF SOME ADVANTAGES OF LOSING WEIGHT

THERE ARE MANY POSITIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE ENTER "THE LAND OF SLIM"..IT IS GREAT FOR OUR EGOS AND OFTEN IMPROVES OUR HEALTH.

                                                      JUST A FEW OF THE PLUSES
1.  Some ways you can do this is by losing 10 pounds or more and eat healthily. It can lessen your chances of developing diabetes and can sometimes help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure.  You will often look better and feel pleased with yourself.

 2.  Cute story:  One of my members opened her refrigerator and she was ready to have a fattening snack.  She overheard her husband telling someone over the phone that she had recently lost 25 pounds and was looking good. She quickly closed the fridge and walked away with a smile on her face.

            LOTS OF ADVICE FROM THE DIET LADY

 Hint:  Lusting for or dreaming about the wrong foods won't make you gain weight.  Looking at honey buns or large Danish pastries behind a glass case won't make them pop into your mouth.
Always keep in mind:  devouring the wrong foods are just a momentary pleasure.

 Hint.  Keep food you cannot control out of the house.

 Hint:  Have a firm idea in your mind of how you will order in every type of restaurant.

 Hint:  If you are having trouble staying on your diet, write down what you plan to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the beginning of the day (NOT AFTER YOU EAT...BUT IN ADVANCE.)

 WOW....We do not have a lifetime sentence to be overweight.  we can reverse it.
