Diet for Life

No one wants to be perpetually on a diet. I have had my share of dieting since I was in my teens. When I was 15, I decided I was too fat. Back in those days, dieting meant "not eating" so I starved myself to get thinner. A few years after, I learned more about calorie counting and that was sort of fun because I was able to compute the calories that I eat. Five kids later, I was 45 pounds overweight so I enrolled in a weight-loss program. The dieting and exercise from the program helped me lose 50 pounds. It wasn't that hard keeping the weight down as I taught myself how to limit my calorie intake. The problem with some commercialized diets today are that they don't have an option to eat "normal" food. I read a jenny craig review and the diet works fine but who the heck can eat "diet" food for the rest of his/her natural life?? The key to enjoy your food is moderation. Plus! Go slow on the salt and fat.
