Dieting Support and Weight Loss Help From a Trusted Friend

Posted Apr 11 2009 12:55am

by Maria's Last Diet

Dear Maria...

I did something I've never done before. I asked a good friend of mine to tell me what she thinks about my problem with my weight.

Wow -- what an eye-opener! To hear about what it looks like from someone else's point of view was amazing. And she's someone I really trust.

Here's what she said. She sees me go on diet after diet, and then I always end up saying the diet plan doesn't work. To Maddy, it seems like I don't really have any intention of losing weight. It's just the same old story every time. She even went so far as to say she's sick of hearing about my latest diet all the time.

In fact, she said, "I just want to yell at you, don't you know this one isn't going to work just like all the others? Why don't you find a new way to lose weight -- join a gym, or go to a nutritionist, or go get counseling...something! If you keep doing the same thing, you'll end up in the same place."

I know she's right.
