Dieting as a way to gain weight

[Guest guest]

I am in 100/% complete agreement with this. If I hadn't had so many " final

meals " prior to starting a diet, I think I would never have reached the

weight that I've reached. Most of my eating was squashing in food way

beyond what I genuinely wanted, just because the next day, the gate was

going to clang shut forever.

Things will probably be worse for the generations that follow us, since they

have the diet-crazies at an ever-earlier age.

After dieting for 52 years (I am now 59), I have totally written off dieting

as an effective tool for the very overweight.

My diet history is that I've lost 100+ pounds 3 times, 65 once, 50

twice and 30 more times than I can tell you. My BMI is 53.

I'm living proof.
