Aha Moment

I have been on many diets over my life. I have always ended up gaining it back and more. Last year I had cancer and was lucky enough to catch it early and have a great surgeon who wanted to help heal me and suggested Weight Watchers. I joined and I am now one year later 25 lbs lighter and cancer free. But I am having a hard time losing anymore weight..I go up a lb down an ounce...my body has put me into a starvation set point. I have been doing the points system with WW which basically controls your calorie intake in a different format based on how much you weigh. It worked at first and then my body got hip to it and shut down to a very slow crawl. When reading Brook's book I saw in his program something that I could definitely live with for a lifetime. Something that I could continue to lose and attend WW meetings... which I feel is very important for me to have that accountability in a positive setting. I am very excited and will be keeping the control chart that he describes in the book. For those of you looking for a way not a diet...this may be for you. For those of you who like their olive oil, pasta and wine...this is definitely for you...
