Hey Doug. I have been watching stories on tv. about overweight people. It's ashame. People let themselves get to like 650+. They eat and eat and eat, till one day, I guess they wake up? and by then, it's usually to late. They cry and whine wanting a "quick and easy fix." and it really makes me mad to see people go through life like that. I mean, really. How hard is it, to just watch what you eat, and excersize if you want? I mean, since we've been honst about loosing weight, and getting your book, of course , it's not that hard! Watching this one woman who is 650 lbs. she has a caregiver, and watching what the caregiver made her to eat! No wonder! a freakin grilled cheese sandwich? NO WONDER!! They always are eating what they want to eat and then surgery? To continue the way they want to, still? There isn't going to be a "cure" for them, if they continue to eat the SAME WAY. Even after surgery! Don't they understand?

We were all "blind" at one time to the truth. It's easy for me to understand how they can be clueless. I was clueless for so long, too.

Is there anyone out there that can grab me through this computer and jerk me back in line with the weight lose.  I lost 85 pounds 4 years ago and kept it off 1 year and then after that first year I started gaining it back.  So the next year I gain 3/4's of my weight back and then last year I spent doing every little trick under the sun to lose weight with out really being on a diet lol.  Like you all know there is nothing that can make you skinny unless you get this book and eat right and get up off of your butt and move.  just as I got done saying all of this now I am asking for HELP to give me some encouragement I have fallen out of the book and need someone to help me back in it.  PLEASE HELP

Don't worry my friend, you've taken the first step by joining this forum. The members here will hold your hand AND kick your butt. Your job is to get back the "want to" then re-read FAT TO SKINNY and get serious about the program.

Now tell us...what are you going to do?   Are you in or are you out?

Hi Tropicalbird! Well, I have to tell ya! It aint easy, but, the will power has to be there! and nobody can give you the will power! It was very hard for me to "commit" myself to the book! I still wanted to eat the way "I" wanted to and still loose the weight. Which just aint happenin! lol...Doug set me straight! and I have lost 11lbs.! I still got a longggg way to go, but I will never just "let myself go!" I love the life I have, and I'm not about to let food or anything else take controll of me! Yes, the cravings will still be there, but in Dougs book, you won't loose the foods we love so much we'll gain new foods, but that are way healthier for you, and you'll stay "full" on this change of life. Unlike the other "diets", you won't starve to death!! It will be so worth it!!
I have sooo much more energy now. and it truely has become a change of life, on how I eat, and what I eat. We all have a choice in life  on what to eat! We can either eat the old stuff, and stay the same ole person, or we can eat the new stuff and become the person, you've always wanted to be, that was still there, but you just couldn't see! So, we're all here for ya! If you need recipies, check out the recipie forum! All kinds, even deserts! lol...
Hope you enjoy the new way of life! It's way more enjoyable than the old way of life! Good luck!!

I feel like I have been eating better since changing my life and ridding myself of all the poison I was putting into my body. Don't wait, like I did, until you are told you have Diabetes and MUST make a change. It was the kick in the butt I needed and it's helping me stay on this new path. However, I don't think you want to be told that you could potentially have all of the problems that it brings with it.

Seriously, I have never cooked as much as I do now. I also look forward to it, whereas before it was a chore. The food all tastes better now and full of flavor AND LIFE (rather than DEATH). Do you want to be fed the grains and corn to be fattened up like a cow? ****That one piece of information from Doug's book won't get out of my brain****   If we get all fattened up, then we will be relying upon the pharmaceutical companies for the rest of our lives. I don't know about you, but I really don't want to keep paying over $220 per month just for my diabetes medication. I plan to ask the doctor at my next appointment if I can stop taking it. Keep in mind, I've only been on it sinch March 11th of this year. 

It's a choice. It's a tough choice, but you can do it. We are all here making the same tough choices that you are, and we face some of the same struggles that you face. Be real with yourself and with us and we can all help each other.

I can see my feet again!! Without having to smoosh my stomach down lol. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I took my son to the movies the other day and he had popcorn and it didn't even smell good to me. Which was so weird cause I loved popcorn before FTS. This is saving my life and I thank God everyday for Doug and Sherri.

I took an Atkins bar (checked the numbers myself) and some lightly salted roasted endamame. It was great to have a little something.  I have also taken a ziploc bag of pork rinds and an Atkins shake with me to the movies before.
