Unrealistic diet...like all the others

SpinDiva — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:37:24 -0600

So what happens when the individual returns to eating normal food...oh wait, I know, they gain it all back with a vengeance. I admit that most diets out there that promote a quick fix can sometimes be convincing on paper and when one is desperate to loose a few pounds, you know, to get you started on the weight loss wagon. But then it all come crashing down and the anxiety and stress from the let down of a promising product kicks in which makes everything worse. It's such a terrible cycle to be in...been there, done that and know better to never to do it again. Thanks for posting this, very important message.

You already know what I think!

It's not just the cookie diet I object to - I'm against any diet that doesn't teach people to handle real food in moderation.

That's awesome! Keep it up... I do the same thing, there is just no other kind of workout that makes me feel more pushed and more accomplished than a great weight lifting program.

Taylor is a NASM personal trainer who has specialized in women's fitness. She is the co owner and head trainer of the all women's training site TheArtOfWeightLifting.com and the blog LiftingRevolution.com

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for writing about this.

I workout at CrossFit 5 times per week which means I end up doing some form of Olympic lifting at least a few of the days. It is a constant struggle to try to explain to other females that CrossFit is a great way to lose weight and tone up.

Thanks again! and Good Luck!

I meant "saving" money. Not "having" money. Whoops.

I love food-way too much!

I am so addicted to food and eat emotionally. I always have, and I believe it was passed down to me by my mother who also admits to it. I suffer from depression/anxiety as well as Bulimia since I was 16. This combinaton of addiction to food-eating when my anxiety level is high/I'm depressed is deadly and it's been such a HARD thing for me to overcome. I feel hopeless sometimes. I don't know what to replace my food for...music? yoga? How do you break something you've done for so long?

Thank you for your post! I'm going to start a journal and see if it helps!

Mrs. Brady always was the coolest Brady

and it's great that she has found a way of re-inventing herself so that she is still active in the entertainment business, not many older women have been able to do that.

I love to race too!

I've recently ran my first 1/2 marathon and loved it. If it wasn't for my healthy diet before hand, I would not have performed as well. I also follow a Herbalife diet. It allows me to stabalize my diet prior to competitions and increase my protein intake.

Closing the door

Thanks for sharing this post. It was really inspiring to me considering my current realationships and career. I always have the fear of closing something completely and just letting go.

It will help. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'm sure you did the research so you know this is the best option for you. You have a great perspective on things. Sometimes the Universe throws us a curveball. Or three? Maybe it is time for focusing on yourself and taking care of yourself. Keep your pen and paper (or keyboard) close by and keep writing.
