[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 113491, member: 3388"] Sue, I definitely agree with you. As I've said before, and others have also, I firmly believe that the only way to achieve permanent weight loss is through a healthy lifestyle. in my humble opinion, diets don't work. In the long run, the statistics show that most people that go on diets, end up gaining back the weight they lost. in my humble opinion, the only way to maintain a healthy weight, is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As others have also pointed out, I think Terry mentioned this somewhere on this forum, small changes in what you do or don't eat, can add up to significant weight loss over time. So, by cutting out chocolate, chips, bedtime snacks, and limiting sodas, I'm sure you'll lose a significant amount of weight over time. I think this is part of what a healthier lifestyle is all about. After saying all of this, I still believe that for some, dieting might be necessary in order to get to a place where they have more confidence in themselves. Once they begin to look and feel better, then they might have more motivation to switch from whatever diet they've been following to maintaining their desired weight through a healthier lifestyle. So, I firmly believe that whatever works for someone, is the way to go. I don't believe there is any right or wrong way to lose weight. However, I do believe that once the weight is lost, it will return quickly unless a healthy lifestyle is followed. I hope I'm making sense!!! I also want to add that I think that programs like the G.I. Diet, that Trinity mentioned, and Weight Watcher's, like Sharon mentioned, are great approaches because they provide you with healthy ways of eating that can be maintained for a life time. Just the fact that you're here proves that you're ready to begin a healthier lifestyle. I think it can be overwhelming to change your lifestyle all at once. I think taking it slowly by changing some of your snacking habits is a great way to go! I'm sure as time goes by, and your new way of eating becomes a habit, you'll be ready to go back to Curves again. Don't be too hard on yourself!!! Developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is hard work!!! However, the rewards are definitely worth it!!! Now, if I can just follow my own advice, lol!!! You can do it!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
