"I've been on a diet for two weeks and all
I've lost is fourteen days." ~Totie Fields
You probably lost money too.
Did you know...
Americans spent $55.4 billion on diets and
weight loss products/services in 2006. By the end of 2010, this amount is
expected to reach $68.7 billion.
"The second day of a diet is always easier
than the first. By the second day you're off it." ~Jackie Gleason
Diets encourage a temporary solution to weight
loss. How long can you really stick to a diet? I'm guessing temporarily.
"At the end of every diet, the path curves
back to the trough." ~Mason Cooley
Did you know...
Nearly all dieters (95%) regain the weight they
lost within one to five years.
"I tried every diet in the book. I tried some
that weren't in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most
of the diets." ~Dolly Parton
3 reasons
you may be a chronic dieter.
- You don't trust yourself with food.
- You convince yourself that the next diet will work.
- You think that losing weight will make dieting worthwhile.
"Probably nothing in the world arouses more
false hopes than the first four hours of a diet." ~Dan Bennett
Another false hope is thinking there is a quick
and easy way to lose weight. There isn't.
You can lose weight and keep it off, but fad
diets are not the answer. The only way to achieve permanent weight loss is to
make small, gradual, and permanent changes to your lifestyle.
