1) I learned counting calories, that means weighing and measuring my food
is the only way I will ever lose and keep weight off.
2) Without exersize it will take a looooong time to lose, but it's possible.
3) have to do this for the rest of my life or I'm kidding myself.
4) Community support on different levels is a must.
5) Don't diet, eat healthier
6) Losing weight does not solve all your problems.
7) When I lose 75% of my weight carry a condom with me at all times.
8) Keep your sense of humor!!!!
9) Count bowling balls for weight loss. Every 16 pounds inform people
you just lost another bowling ball and they can keep it if they find it. I lost almost 8
bowling balls and found almost 6 of them back. Just returned one and am down 18 lbs.
9) Ask people to be your friend they can't read your mind.
