Diet Bites - Free Weight Loss Program

Dieting requires a lot of patience. Some of my best tips are:

Eat Slowly

Choose fruits for snack time.

Frozen veggies & fruits contain very little calories & are quick grabs when Diet Panic settles in.

Read, surf the net, watch tv - do anything and everything to keep your mind off of food.

The Sky Taylor Story - How Sky Lost Over 100 Pounds

And when there were celebrations involved, I did what I did best - cooked my fat-little pants off. Strawberry cakes glistening with cream cheese icing and powdered-sugar strawberries. Macaroni salad that was so creamy that it didn't want to leave the bowl. And pies as high as the sky - so high that the giant in the beanstalk didn't even need to climb down to have some.

Then almost a decade ago, something happened - something totally amazing. I made a New Year's Resolution that I would achieve weight loss. I didn't care if I reached the Number Skinny on the weight scales. I just wanted to erase my pones – those things that stuck out on my sides which most folks referred to as love handles, only there wasn't anything that I loved about them.

I just wanted to fit into a dress, or a pair of pants and feel good about how I felt – without having my clothing fit so tight that it cut into me, and without having to wear one more moo-moo dress. I longed for satin and velvet and yes, good health.

With my blood pressure levels out the kazoo, I knew that I was headed for a dance with the Diet Devil. He was there, waiting in the shadows, disguised as that old familiar rattlesnake – just waiting to strike.

With sheer courage, determination and yes – stupidity, I plunged forward - accomplishing weight loss - great weight loss. The last time that I had viewed the weight scales, the numbers read over 220 pounds and by the time I had finished, they were at 109 - a bit too thin.

But my vast weight loss did not come without ill health effects. My once-pretty locks came out by the handfuls. My breath had the ability to take down two T-Rex's in nothing flat. My skin was so flat, pale and lifeless that I could have starred in a horror movie – as the cadaver.

The good news was that my blood sugar levels were in check as well as my blood pressure and cholesterol readings. In fact, I was able to be weaned off of the blood pressure medication.

And boy, did I have energy. I walked everywhere with that pale pallor, thin hair and baited breath. I was finally free – free of those unwanted pounds. I had just been released from Prison Pounds.

But then I discovered that I had another sort of problem on my hands - the fact that I was rail-thin. How could I get to a healthy weight without killing myself? Without ballooning out again?

It was at this point that I returned to my healthy roots, picking up the knowledge that I had learned regarding a nutritious diet and my weight stabilized, and my health appears to never have been better.

The following is a month-by-month capsule of my weight loss experience from 220+ pounds to Diet Stabilization.
