Woman vs. FAT has been silent for more than a year. In my last post, I indicated I was going back to work and for a while, I was able to maintain and keep losing. But I'm sad to say that, in the end, my weight has crept back up and I'm now back to where I started.
How many times have I done this before? Let's just say this isn't the first time I've lost a significant amount of weight only to gain it back again.
Disgust and embarrassment abound. These are emotions that are self destructing if they are allowed to fester. I won't have any of that.
So here I am, back to the blog, finding the courage to stand back up, brush off my disappointment and declare that I'm not giving up. My longevity is at stake.
So step #1 is the recognition that diets don't work. Whatever I do, it has to be permanent. With that in mind, I'm re-reading a book I picked up in March - Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. .
There are two things compelling about this book and Dr. Fuhrman:
1. The over 2000 medical studies referenced by the book and fully listed in a Notes section more than 40 pages in length
2. Dr. Fuhrman's success rate and the case studies presented in the book. Pretty remarkable.
Read more from Dr. Fuhrman at his blog - some very interesting stuff.
Maybe this is something that could work - permanently.
Stay tuned... time will tell.
