Diets you name one and I’ve probably been on it. Since the age of seven. Been pulling off the weight and stacking it on for years. More stacking then pulling by the way. Then it started to hit me, I had been taught food is not my friend, its baaad and should be hated and I did. I starved myself for days only to eat everything I could for a week after that (my cats are sure lucky they can run). So not to long ago I thought to myself what the fuck are you doing? Why do this to yourself day after day, your smarter then this. So I changed.
I have learned a lot on the road to dieting myself to death and what I decided was no more quick fixes, denying myself something I want and especially no guilt trips when I fuck up. Know what? Feeling better and doing better each day.
I’ve never been a calorie or fat gram counter, but I am now. 1,200 calories is A LOT of food and 35 fat grams is easy to do if you pay attention. So I might not lose a hundred pounds in four months, big fucking deal. I’m not hurting myself going the slow way either. For the first time in a while I feel like I’m going to be alright.

AS they say on the “chick Shows” You go girl!! I sit here in all my 200 + glory and shake my head Yes, been there, know that, but it means nothing to the other person. What counts is what that person feels. I have pretty well beat the smoking and I intend to attack the fat with the same tenacity very soon. Not because I need to look like a movie star, but because at soon be 78 I need to drop some baggage before my legs give out. Good luck on your plan of attack . I know it will work because it is your plan .

ran across your website today. It must have been fate. I too have been battling my weight ever since i could reach for the refrigerator door!
After years of yo-yo dieting, I managed to hit 200+ lbs. What an acomplishment! For me it is either green light (which means that anything goes) or red light (which means restriction and deprevation) There does not seem to be a yellow light in my life.
Right now I am operating on red light. I am buying the right foods, counting fat grams and walking every day. I do not even care about looks anymore. I just want to be able bend over without this bloody gut getting in the way.
