I stopped Dieting years ago. I've had to watch every morsel that went into my mouth up until 3 years ago, when both parents got ill. Stress and 3 surgeries are not a good way to lose weight, believe me. But I've begun to drink LOTS of water. Either flavored or with lemon or lime. I also cut out all "white" starches. I eat brown rice and pasta and rarely bread. If I do, it's whole grain. If I want chocolate, I eat 1/2 a candy bar now. It's all moderation. Yep, you have to willingly change your lifestyle. Not always easy, but worth it in the end. Good Luck!

BTW.. I did go to Weight Watchers on my own. I thought I'd be embarrassed, but I made lots of friends. The counselors will never announce your weight outloud, unless you want them to. Of course, when you lose 5 pounds, you want the world to know. Nobody was berrated for gaining anything either.
