I have been overwieght my whole life and on some sort of diet since I was 8/9. In high school, I was able to starve myself down to a size 9 (Diet Center) for one glorious month but since then I have weighed in at well over 200 pounds (usually fluxing between 220-250; My highest in 2001.. 289). Since then I've yo-yo dieted ever since..
Around December of 2004.. I finally wised up and became totally disillusioned with dieting on a whole. It was also the time that I was able to research the effects of yo-yo dieting (that it kills your metabolism) through a paper I did in grad-school and it was then that I became completely dismayed with myself for believing the 'Diet Myth' for so long. And that is what it is and was.. a total and complete DIET MYTH. The fact is.. I’ve killed my metabolism by yoyo-dieting. And, the other fact is.. I refuse to “Diet” ever again. Instead, I like to think of it as making healthy choices.. and where are the restrictions in choices.. right?
