BUT I THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM Once upon a breezy afternoon, I found myself temporarily single at a marriage counseling session, so I said to Dr. Dunn, "Since it's just me, can we spend some time figuring out why I eat everything in sight?" "Why?" she asked. I cracked. "Look at me!" I shrieked. "I'm blowing up like a balloon! You've gotta do something! Another few pounds and I'll be morbidly obese!" (In case you don't know, morbidly obese means at least double your ideal body weight or 100 pounds over it, depending upon whose article you're reading.) My heart wasn't in it, because even though I knew I was in real trouble, I didn't care. I was the 46-year-old mother of a two-year-old who was counting on me for at least another 16 years, yet I was willing to accept my fat (clogged arteries and all) rather than sacrifice a single taco from my customary six-pack (or ten-pack if I happened to be hauling enough cash). I guess she sensed my lack of commitment, because we only spent a few minutes talking about my eating disorder and my most recent loss of control (which I remember fondly as a wild and wonderful seven-year binge).... but in that few minutes she provided me with the insight I needed to eventually get my eating under control, take the fat off, and create the UNIQUE system I'm about to share with you. What did she say during the miracle session? Not really a whole lot. Oh, she gave me a few pointers on eating less, but I'd heard it all before, and I wasn't listening with both ears anyway. But lucky for me, hiding out among the stuff I didn't want to hear were a couple of real gems:
Nothing magic.... but she might as well have blown fairy dust up my nose, because on that afternoon, she turned my life around. Well, not exactly on that afternoon.... It took me another few months to pull myself together, but without her, the seed would never have been planted. So this is where I jump up and shriek: Thank you, Dr. Dunn! Now What's In It for ME? A lifetime of thin. B-O-N-E-S! (How long since you've caught a glimpse of any BONES except the ones under your hair?) Inside this little book is the knowledge you need to shed your extra fat FOREVER. Inside this book is POWER. AWESOME power! The POWER that springs from becoming bosom buddies with SUCCESS.... week after week after glorious week. The POWER that comes from doing it your OWN way and from the incredible pride you can't help but feel when you realize "Your Way" actually WORKS! You see, FORMERLY FAT is a plan you create yourself. It is uniquely your own. It revolves around what you already eat.... the very same stuff that caused all this trouble in the first place. The stuff you love. So there is no deprivation. And there is no self-pity. And without deprivation or self-pity, there is no reason to "fall off the wagon" and put the weight back on. EVER. What's more, this plan has nothing to do with a healthy lifestyle or exercise or the four food groups or grams or meal plans or weekly menus or exchange lists or other nasty stuff. This plan is about indulging yourself. It is about continuing to eat the things you love. And losing weight anyway. This plan is about SUCCESS. And BONES.... Never forget the BONES.
