You can probably imagine, I get a lot of questions.  I love it that people ask, although I cannot answer every one of them.  This one gets to the point, and a lot of people ask it on a regular basis. 

I’m
sick of struggling to lose weight – and then gaining it right back and
starting all over again. How do I lose weight permanently?

First of all, learn to find JOY in the process of
becoming and staying healthy. While nothing in this life is truly
perfect or permanent, there is a way to manage and maintain your
weight. That’s what you want to aim for, a stable and healthy weight.
How? BALANCE! Aim to eat only as many calories as you use up in living.
Learn to eat just the right amount of food (moderation is the key),
from all six food groups every day. Learn and practice being physically
active every day. In other words: eat for nourishment, mainly, and get
your pleasure from life in all of its vast variety.

This is all
accomplished slowly, over time, with HELP! Help from others who have
done it, who care about you and will cheer you on, and most
importantly, divine help from God (or whatever you call your Higher Power).
