I was a fat kid – or I thought I was, so I learned about “diet” quite early in life. I was always attracted to those captions in magazines that read “lose 10 pounds before Christmas” or “lose 20 pounds before summer, so that you will look good in a bikini”!!

I think I’ve tried all the diets – the Atkins diet – the five point diet – the “eat all you want and still lose weight”diet, etc. etc!! They all worked too – for awhile. Then I would gain the weight back very quickly.

One day I saw an advertisement for Gail’s Weight Loss Centre. It was advertised as weight loss management for life. That appealed to me. Then I talked to a friend who had been with Gail’s program and she had very positive things to say about it. So I decided that just one more time wouldn’t hurt, so I had an interview and started the program. It was here that “diet” and “eating right” took on a new and positive way of looking at food. I learned that along with losing weight, I could eat nutritiously and feel better. There was no need to cut out a lot of foods. I just learned to cook differently and make a few adjustments and learn new and better ways of eating. And the good thing is that you have a “lifetime” to make it succeed. By eating this way, we can maintain a healthy weight.

I've been on Gail’s program for a number of years now. Sometimes I gain some weight, but I can still lose some and maintain the weight. I am very thankful for the ladies who have helped me along the way. I will always be thankful for Tony’s encouragement to “hang in there” and don’t get discouraged – changing habits take a long time!
