The only way for me to lose weight seriously was having my health conditions give me a wake-up call -- this has made me change my eating habits and the food I eat. I've lost 40 pounds and have another 20 pounds to go. It has been a slow process -- about a year now -- eating less and better food. Probably for the best as it is the result of self control of my eating.

I bought all those same bullshit excuses -- then ate a bowl of ice cream to "console with my scientifically proven fate".

If you develop some self control and when you are hungry eat a few baked crackers or pickles along with a glass of water your not hungry any more.

Two heaping tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese instead of 1 1/2 cups of 4% cottage cheese with fruit.

Control your gluttony and not lament your demise because of some "new report" acknowledging your inherent condition -- then stuffing most of a large pizza in your fat ass mouth ...
