Do you own lots of books on diets? I have spent so much money on them, I have a full box of them, I am ashamed to show them on my bookshelf. I will give them away when I find the courage.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Betty, I've done some pretty crazy things trying to lose weight. I am going to be 68 on the 4th.....I have been working on this weight loss thing for 54 years now.....like you, I am only weighing at the doctor. I don't go to the doctor very often, so it isn't much of a weigh in. I get scared, though. I just regained 56 pounds of a 75 pound weight loss in WW. It has taken me a couple of years to regain it. Actually, it didn't take me that long to regain it, but I've had a hard time not regaining the other 19 pounds. I have only been reading IE for 3 weeks. I was working in another online program, but became quite disenchanted with it. Another person who is also trying to stop dieting told me about IE which I got out of the library---I just ordered it on line, last night. I love the book, I love this place to communicate with others. I have been watching more than writing. I think the most unusual thing I've tried is this little book I found that had you drink a glass of water with sugar in it and eat one or two tablespoons of olive oil. I don't remember it clearly. I did it less than a year ago. Someone else has probably seen it and tried it too. I am pretty sure I won't diet, again. However, almost everyone I hang out with is in WW right now. There is an at work group that has been going on for about 8 years. I was the organizer of it for about 4 years. I started gaining weight before I stopped going. I find it hard to be with people who talk about losing weight all the time. I am by far the largest of them all. There is probably not one amongst them who is more than 30 pounds overweight---by the charts. I am probably 120 or 130 pounds over by the charts. I just want to make peace with food, eating and my body. > > I have strated to weigh myself only when i go to the Dr.. I have only done this for awhile IE that is but my pants are loser.
