This is a great post. I'm going to print it out later to read when I have to remind myself that I must adopt the behavior of a mature woman who has respect for herself. The decades of eating and doing (or not) what I wished didn't work out too well weight wise. I am trying to change for good now...not just be on a diet. Thanks for these words of wisdom. I'll be back!<br /><br />BobbiMoonBeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207234012212926225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-88471455961534079752012-04-30T03:14:42.245-07:002012-04-30T03:14:42.245-07:00Thanks so much for checking out my blog....i hope ...Thanks so much for checking out my blog....i hope that you will continue to follow and enjoy!cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822532607760198861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-81583217220572882652012-04-29T19:39:59.605-07:002012-04-29T19:39:59.605-07:00Hi Cindy!

Alice, you and I are the same - we've both done the yoyo dieting all our lives, and, you're right....dieting isn't the answer; we have to change how we eat for life and that means incorporating "treats" into our diet but within reason, not every day. I decided late last year that I want to be healthy and that means losing the extra weight, so I have been changing how I eat gradually but, unfortunately, have not yet incorporated the exercise into my plan. I do intend to change that shortly. I've lost 25 lbs. since the first of January and will keep plugging away at it. And, Cindy, you are smart to get a handle on that 10 lbs. now. I know it's not a lot but I also know how easy it is to let it get out of control. I wish you great success with your blog :) xoxox GeralynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-70674422002217551882012-04-29T10:53:17.225-07:002012-04-29T10:53:17.225-07:00I too guessed your Alice is our Marie,I have been ...I too guessed your Alice is our Marie,I have been very lucky ,I was always skinny so my weight gain is a bonus , I too have a blog have a peek, I look forward to getting to know you....love Jan xx<br />http://serendipitylives-jan.blogspot.comJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887084136241374777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102656235706879890.post-79255505145431129172012-04-29T08:30:58.261-07:002012-04-29T08:30:58.261-07:00Hello Cindy, Marie, who I suspect is Alice, sent m...Hello Cindy, Marie, who I suspect is Alice, sent me over.

I can so relate to everything you said, firstly because I grew up with the same mother, ahem . . . and the same prejudices instilled in me from her obsession. I don't know what happened to me though because I ended up looking more like Aunt Freda. I admit I have struggled with my weight for (how old is Bruce?) 23 years now. 23 years of endless diets and losing weight and putting it all back on and then some, losing it again, putting ot back on again, etc, etc. I have come to the point now where I recognize that for me diets just do not work. They make me fatter. What I need is a healthy eating plan for life, and then when that becomes a habit (combined with exercise), I will not only lose weight but keep it off. For me, it's not ten pounds though . . . but probably easily at least 5 ot 6 times that amount. You need to add a followers list to this blog so that people can sign up. Well done on your first post and I am looking forward to many many more.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.com
