New Subject: Diets don’t work!! The only way to lose weight and keep things in check is to create a healthy lifestyle that you stick to everyday!
People look at me and because I’m 5 ‘ and rather (I mean rather) petite, they think I don’t have problems with weight. Wrong!! I have been attempting to eat right since I was 25. I eat very little sugar and bread and it is HARD to do. But if I didn’t I could gain 20 lbs very quickly and that is alot of weight for my frame. Two years ago I gained 22 lbs and it took me one year to lose. I had to get back on track. The truth is, if you want to maintain a healthy weight, you must maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat well, watch sugar and carbs, exercise and watch youtr alcohol intake. Diets don’t work–but healthy lifestyle habits do. Try it–it is hard, but worth it. You’ll have a great body image. Respect your body, feed it well and if you feel that you are ‘comfort eating’ too much, find a support group.  I have stress anger management clients who experience frustration with their weight and dieting in general. As a stress and anger management facilitator, i help people release their anger and improve their sense of body image. I wish you all best on your diet and healthy lifestyle. Love, Catherine Cardinal
