Re: Anyone ever try The Jerusalem Diet?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Been looking and reading everything lately, hoping to find something

to motivate me to lose weight. I have never been able to do a diet I have been

on before and have been trying to find something, ANYTHING, I could try.

Today, I went to Books A Million and saw The Jerusalem Diet. Just wondered if

anyone ever heard of it, or even tried it...thanks

Hey a and others looking to lose a few pounds,

I spent this weekend in front of my TV watching Discovery Health.

Yesterday, I watched " The Half-Ton Man " and the " 850 lb Man " . Boy, if that

doesn't motivate you to get on a program, then nothing will. I have been

having problems with grazing all day, especially on sweets and I have gained

about 10 lbs over the past 6 months. I got down to 140-143 and stayed there

for over a year. Slowly I have crept up to 152. I watched those shows and

said, " But by the Grace of God, goeth I " . I was on the border of being

Super Morbidly Obese at 385 lbs when I had my MGB. My heart goes out to

those who are so big that they can no longer get about and are living in

bed, or in a nursing home. The guy who weighed 850 actually died of

complications from his weight. The half-ton guy had WLS and got down to 499.

I know these shows are old, but I wonder how they have done following the

show. I even watched one last night " The Shrinking Woman " about a lady who

got up to I think 630 lbs and she had WLS and got down close to 200. She was

having reconstructive plastic surgery, such as a lower body lift, thigh lift

and wanted to get her breasts and arms done. She did good with the LBL, but

had a horrible time from the thigh lift. The docs said she was too

malnourished for them to do the breasts/arms. Every single one of these

people, as well as others they intereviewed, all had the same thing to

say....they were food addicts. I know what that is like, because I am too.

Even though I am a size 8-10 now and have had several PS procedures, I still

feel fat. I don't know if that will ever change. These shows were a wake-up

call for me. Yesterday and today I have done great with the eating. I'm

trying to learn to listen to my body and stop all the mindless eating, and

eat only when I'm really hungry. I feel better already and find I'm filling

up fast. So if any of you out there need any motivation, watch these shows.

My heart breaks for these people, and I just hope and pray that I never wind

up MO again! I know I can gain weight, and if I don't stop it now, no

telling where I might end up. God help me to not go there ever again! Sorry

for rattling on so long, but maybe it will help someone else.

Hugs,

Dear

I too watched these shows. I enjoy the health channel and TLC and Discovery

channel as well. I find these programs very motivating to lose the weight and

keep it off. I started watching the shows that had to do with the skin removal

because I will need to have it done in a couple of years and am trying to do my

research in preparation for that.

I get my husband to watch with me on occassion. He gets squemmish at times

with all the blood, but when it comes to learning about a procedure that is to

be done he will watch with me.

Good luck with your battle, hope you win the fight.
