Many people think of going on a diet as a temporary band-aid to fix their weight problems. They long for the day when they can return to 'normal' eating. Thoughts of the food they are denying themselves constantly fill their heads, threatening to derail their efforts.

I was one of those people. I would try each new 'miracle' diet, lose some weight, then return to my old habits. I was a typical yo yo dieter, on a treadmill which, each time, saw my weight creep ever upwards.

Today, it is almost six months since I started using MFP. I am more than halfway to my year end goal. I am lighter, fitter and healthier than I have been in decades. Throughout this process, my MFP friends have been a tower of strength.

I am consciously reprogramming my brain with a lifetime healthy-eating mindset. I firmly endorse the CICO ethos. For me, this has to be a permanent change. If I go back to doing the same things, I will get the same results. I do not want to go back down that road.
