Healthy eating and exercise really is the best way.<br /><br />The dress is lovely.

I also think diets are difficult to keep. It's much better to get into good habits instead, good luck I'm sure you will be wearing your dress in France!<br />Sarah xDown by the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06148800326418238027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654141479722625610.post-92006716517684029282013-03-18T21:30:59.877-07:002013-03-18T21:30:59.877-07:00That dress is really pretty.

I realized that all it was doing was legitimizing my bad eating habits, wrapping them up in glossy materials and making me pay them for the privilege of relying on them for weight loss. I'm serious. I turn into an OCD lunatic when I'm on that program. Never again. I like Linda's advice. I have been doing something similar for a couple of years now and I've lost about 30 lbs. in that time, just by trying to pay more attention to my body and stop when I'm full and quit denying myself so that I binge later. It took me a long time to figure out that I can do this. I'll never be thin, but I at least feel in control.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654141479722625610.post-7521514262306355022013-03-18T16:56:52.538-07:002013-03-18T16:56:52.538-07:00Five years ago after "dieting" for years...Five years ago after "dieting" for years I made a decision. I was never going to weigh again. I was not going to reward or rebuke myself,congratulate or detest myself, feel elated or depressed by numbers anymore, I calmly sat down and thought STOP! Stop starving yourself near weigh day and bingeing the day after. STOP.It took a while to really accept I was really in charge. It took a while to think why I was eating and what I was eating and when I actually did not want anymore. It took a while to buy chocolate ,eat it and not worry. But I have dropped at least one jean/dress size. I enjoy my food so much more and I really do love myself for taking control,being in control and staying there. It feels like food is not an issue anymore. I eat when I am hungry, sometimes little amounts, sometimes more. No forbidden foods just food to be enjoyed.<br />I wish I had done this in my 30@s not my 50's!<br />Good Luck -- you will look beautiful in that dress and you will sashy down the street.
