Diet for life

[Guest guest]

In response to the person who's doctor said that they would be on a diet for

life. I am 4 1/2 months out, do I feel that I am on a diet? NO

But in truth, if I could have eaten this way before, I don't think I would have

become fat in the first place. A diet is just a way of eating, we are forced to

change the way we ate before to a better way. This is true for most of us.

There are a few who didn't eat large amounts before, but I know I wasn't one of

those. I wasn't a sweet eater, although I liked an occasional sweet. But I

would make a meat loaf with 3 lbs of beef and my husband and I would finish most

of it for dinner and snack on the rest later that night. I sure can't do that

anymore.

BTW my husband is seeing Dr. Macura this week to see if he can get the DS too.

He has been trying to reduce his food intake, it works for a while but after a

while, the cravings catch up.
