I have always believed that Weight Watchers approach to eat anything you want but count your points was crazy. If we could do that and be successful, we wouldnt be overweight. Best way to lose weight is to elimate certain foods and intoduce them in smallest amounts possible (bite) if you have to.

FIRST A THOUGHT THEN AN ACTION.

I screwed up this week. I had a two pound weight gain. I know it was because I drank too much wine. Wine has always increased my appetite. There was this voice of reason that said, you been working too hard to blow it on wine and then there was the other voice. This week the other voice won. I have to monitor my thinking. Not let the voice of desire override the voice of reason.

DIETING IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD

"Researchers...gave a day of purely psychological training to 43 people who'd repeatedly tried to lose weight. An other group (control group) received no instruction. The group who received the psychological training group lost significantly more weight, sustained weight loss more effectively over three months, and became happier overall than the control group.

These chronic dieters became far more successful at weight loss after A SINGLE day spent learning to think differently."
