I had turned thirteen when I was first called chubby. I did not want to admit that it might be true. What they thought was fat, I thought were great curves. No one could convince me that I did not have the ideal look. The more that I heard people saying it though, the more I realized that they might be right.

It was only natural that I tried to find a way to fix the issue. Naturally I turned to the wisdom of the of message boards such as the biggest loser forum message board and discovered the that there were many popular diets and I decided on a diet that appealed to me because it was 1) simple to follow with limited food choices, and 2) allowed foods I liked.

What follows is how I decided to lose the weight. The diet included all you want of fat laden meats, eggs, cheese, butter, oils, anything fat is okay and but no breads, including whole grain and white bread, grains, rice, beans and little if any vegetables or fruits. which sounded good to me especially because it did not include working out and doing something crazy like a six pack ab exercise program.

It was not going to be difficult to follow. I cooked up a big old steak for my dinner skipping the rolls that normally accompany it. The smell of the meat is forever in my memories. No problem, I could eat like this forever.

By the third day of beef I was pretty sick of that, but I couldn’t think of anything else I could eat. I was not satisfied at all. The thought of eating some bread was consuming me. My first diet attempt was over. I don’t know if I lost weight. I cannot recall the results. I decided dieting was stupid and never bothered to try another fad diet again.

I decided to try to lose weight fasting and his made sense because don’t eat anything and of course you’d lose weight so I decided to fast for a week which turned out to be about four days. I started out rough but was able to get through the beginning and it seemed to get easier after, but the pain subsided quickly and I two or three days. I was a little light headed but since I didn’t do any kind of physical activity, it was tolerable. I hit the halfway point of the fast. Suddenly back came my hunger with a vengeance, and it was not to be denied. The answer was obvious. I gave up on this plan.

What did I do? Did I follow the advice to get back to eating slowly? Of course not. I emptied the fridge instead. Stuffed it in, until I was sick, and this was the first time I’d overeaten to the extent that death would have been a welcome relief. I had cramps and stomach pains I could never have imagined. I knew at this point that I was not cut out to follow any program that kept me from eating again.

Did these programs do anything for me? A couple of programs and a couple of failures. My dieting history so far was working out to be a joke. Once I had given up I started doing what I had done in the past. I chose to focus my diet around a couple of key items that I could eat regularly. I was able to control what I was eating because it never varied from one day to the next. I liked the taste. My weight stayed at a consistent amount. For my height, I was fine.

I might be the size of a magazine cover girl, but That was okay. I no longer had to hop from one weight loss program to another. I was not miserable like so many of my friends seem to be. I had learned the most important thing about dieting. Learn to like yourself from the inside. If you can accomplish that, you can accomplish anything.
