Eat what you want and lose weight!
Everyone is concerned about their weight. Don’t lie. You know you worry about it, at least once in awhile. Some of you may be like me, horribly out of shape. Unless you count “round” as a shape.
Every day we’re bombarded with advertisements for diets. Warnings about getting fat. Inspirational stories from women who went from a size 4 to a size 0. Take these pills, eat this special diet food, buy this expensive exercise gadget. Of course, these commercials are interspersed with McDonald’s commercials. I’m lovin’ it, aren’t you?
Now, I’ve been fat all my life. I was doing Slim-Fast at age 12 (and again at 25 and 30), Weight Watchers at 16, Dexatrim at 17. My most recent thing has been one of those online calorie counting sites, SparkPeople. It’s a great site because not only do you get to count calories, they provide a personalized exercise plan and all the support you could ask for via message boards. They also have articles on different health and diet issues, as well as recipes. I highly recommed this site. It helped me lose 20 pounds. But those pounds are back. Time for a new approach.
