\nYou can probably imagine, I get a lot of questions.  I love it that people ask, although I cannot answer every one of them.  This one gets to the point, and a lot of people ask it on a regular basis.  <\/p>\n

I’m
\nsick of struggling to lose weight – and then gaining it right back and
\nstarting all over again. How do I lose weight permanently?<\/i><\/p>\n

First of all, learn to find JOY in the process of
\nbecoming and staying healthy. While nothing in this life is truly
\nperfect or permanent, there is a way to manage and maintain your
\nweight. That’s what you want to aim for, a stable and healthy weight.
\nHow? BALANCE! Aim to eat only as many calories as you use up in living.
\nLearn to eat just the right amount of food (moderation is the key),
\nfrom all six food groups every day. Learn and practice being physically
\nactive every day. In other words: eat for nourishment, mainly, and get
\nyour pleasure from life in all of its vast variety. <\/p>\n

This is all
\naccomplished slowly, over time, with HELP! Help from others who have
\ndone it, who care about you and will cheer you on, and most
\nimportantly, divine help from God (or whatever you call your Higher Power).<\/p>\n
