“How to Lose Weight Easy, Without Feeling Deprived!�

In my late 20's I was ready to give up on any hope of learning how to lose weight easy without feeling deprived. I had tried everything that promised to teach me how to lose weight easy - Weight Watchers, the Grapefruit Diet (I barfed all day long), Jenny Craig (too expensive) and the fasting diet. I was ready to throw in the towel because my waistline was getting bigger and bigger. I had spent $1,000s of dollars trying to figure out the secret to how to lose weight easy and still hadn't found a solution.

I come from a family of 9 where being overweight was the norm. So how to lose weight easy was never a topic for discussion amongst us. Somewhere down the road, I had developed a scarcity mentality around food. Consequently, whenever anyone offered me food, I felt compelled to accept it and eat it whether or not I was hungry or really wanted it. My thinking was "you'd better say yes because you never know when your next meal will be." But one bite was too many, and a thousand was never enough. Needless to say, with that mentality figuring out how to lose weight easy was extremely difficult.

How to lose weight easy was never discussed in my family even though we were all either chubby or fat. Even though we were poor, my mother always made sure we had 3 hot square meals a day. Still, she rationed food, so I'm sure that's where my scarcity mentality around food came from. Anyway, I was a chubby kid, who later became a fat adult.

By the time I was 28, I had ballooned to 213 pounds with no relief in sight. All I ever wanted was to learn how to lose weight easy so that I could be popular with the boys and have lots of friends. Still, I could not stop eating. Needless to say, my efforts to become thin and find a way to lose weight easy eluded me. I was one sad Humpty Dumpty and I still hadn't found out how to lose weight easy.

In my quest to learn how to lose weight easy I did some incredulous things, thinking that there would be no consequences. They say, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." In my quest for how to lose weight easy, I did some pretty insane things. So where have I been insane when it comes to weight loss? Well, here's a good one. During my 20s, I had ballooned up to about 213 pounds. I kept going to Weight Watchers and losing a little bit of weight, but then I'd gain it right back. What was I doing wrong? I couldn't understand. Then it dawned on me. If I wanted to learn how to lose weight easy I needed to change my thinking and my behavior around food. But how?

I had an "Aha" moment. In the middle of the night, when the hunger attack came upon me, I would go out in my pajamas in the dead of winter, warm up my car, and proceed to drive to Burger King, Nathans, Baskin Robbins, Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips and IHOP. At the time, they were all in one food court. After I purchased my arsenal of artery clogging food, I wouldn't even wait until I got home - I proceeded to eat right in the parking lot. Is that insane or what? In my denial and in my quest to learn how to lose weight easy, I told myself these binges didn't "really count." I truly hit a bottom. Luckily for me, I found the solution to how to lose weight easy...
