Have you ever been on a diet?

Diets are for fat people. They are also mostly bullshit. Gimmicks, crap theories, and money-making schemes. It took you all your life to gain that weight, so don't be in a hurry to lose it all. Truly, if you want to lose weight and maintain your new heroine addicted Olsen twin-like figure, you should not make drastic changes to your lifestyle. The diet plans which force you to completely modify your habits and food choices almost always fail.

The key to successfully losing weight in a healthy and natural manner, and keeping that excess tonage off, is to continue eating what you would normally eat - just less of it. Would it be far healthier for us to eat other, better foods? Sure, but is it realistic? Fuck no.

Drink a glass of water before dinner. Then, simply give yourself slightly smaller portions. Only moderately smaller portions at first. Ease in to it. When you have completed that bucket full, and you are sitting there thinking that you are still hungry, there are two things you must consider: 1 - you are NOT really hungry. We aren't intended to consume huge amounts of food in a single sitting. That feeling of hunger is there because you are accustomed to a different level of satisfaction. You are NOT hungry. 2 - You WILL eat again later. It's far healthier to eat smaller amounts throughout the day than it is to eat larger amounts only 3 times per day. You are a webmaster. I know you're snacking all day anyway. (Changing what you tend to snack on is an excellent choice. I find those small carrots a great treat and the loud crunching makes me feel like I'm eating something sturdy and fattening. If I have no carrots, I'll eat cheap store-brand frosted oatmeal cookies. )

Accustoming yourself to smaller portions is simple and happens much faster than you'd think. Within 2-3 days you'll find that you experience a little pride in your ability to easily serve yourself moderate amounts of food. There will be dishes which you have always loved and it doesn't hurt to treat yourself to a little more of those. Just keep in mind, you are treating yourself - not going back to stuffing your gut at every meal.

Don't weigh yourself every day. True and lasting progress takes time. Rome wasn't built, r*ped, and pillaged in a single day.

Get off your fat ass once in a while. You don't need a gym membership or a $400 exer-cycle (like the one gathering dust behind me). Take a short walk a couple of times per week. Don't look for the closest parking spot at the mall. Read the board and pace back and forth in some kind of semi-psychotic loop of anger, frustration, and paranoia. That's my exercise regimen.

This moderate change should work for most people. There are those who use food as a twisted sort of self-medication due to being gangbanged by a tribe of aboriginal woodsman as a child or what-not. Diets don't work for those people. They should seek psychological treatment for such duressing issues.
