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.

MORE IDEAS OF HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AND STAY TRIM

ONCE YOU LOSE YOUR EXCESS WEIGHT CONSIDER THAT YOU HAVE WON HALF OF THE BATTLE.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO WORK AT KEEPING IT OFF.

                                 HINTS ON HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AND LOVE IT

1. Do not pour oil into a a fry pan when sauteing food.  Use Pam and if you like the flavor of oil or melted butter or margarine; measure one tablespoon and use a Silver stone pan. I prefer to use diet margarine or lite butter.

2.  Never give up when you have a bad week or month while dieting.  If you were content to be overweight, you would not be reading this post on my blog or going to diet meetings. Every week is a new beginning. BEST ADVICE FOREVERMORE:  WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN THAT YOU EAT.

 3.  If you are hungry when it isn't mealtime a good idea might be to have a cold or hot drink that does not contain calories such as tea, coffee, diet soda or even sip a cup of hot water.  This may not  be the answer to appease your hunger.  Another option is to eat part of you next meal or prepare a large fruit smoothie that is under 150 very filling calories.

 4.  Important skills that will help you lose weight: Knowledge, Common Sense, Will Power and Won't Power.

 5.  EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY...OR...EAT DRINK AND BE SORRY...THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
