So you are searching for a "diet plan" and have come here to check things out. That is a great idea. I have tried many "diet" plans over the past 18 years, since the birth of my daughter. Weight Watchers, Overeater's Anonymous, Optifast, Slimfast, Herbalife, Cabbage Soup Diet, Low Carb Diet, and Atkins among others. WOW! That is a lot of plans to have tried, There was one that really took the pounds off and I managed to keep them off successfully for 6 years.
Enter total emotional trauma, I began to stuff my sweet face with food. I turned into an Emotional Eater and that nearly wrecked my life. Health problems ensued, the emotions ruled me and my eating and personal relationships got flushed right down the drain! I met a very wonderful man nearly 2 years ago and we became engaged. The emotions became so out of control with the food that I ballooned up to an all time high weight of over 235 lbs. The emotional eating took it's toll and my husband to be, and we broke up. We were together on the West Coast at the time. I returned 2000 miles to the Midwest and started to deal with things. I knew some things about weight loss from all my past attempts and managed to get down to 200 lbs before joining eDiets.
One day I saw an ad for eDiets online and was reminded of when my boyfriend had mentioned it to me while I had still been on the West Coast (my favorite place to be...warm, sunny Southern California.) I had seen the eDiets ads many times but had chosen to ignore them. This particular day in the last part of October, 2002 I decided to go ahead and enter the information and see what I could find out about eDiets.
To my surprise, the price was extremely affordable, and you can even qualify for FREE membership after you have been with them for at least 6 weeks. I signed up because it worked out to be much less than $1.00 a day. I thought I can easily give up one soda a day to pay for this.
Once I got into eDiets I got my personalized meal plan, mine is Low Sodium due to high blood pressure. The meal plan, by the way is customized to your needs, with options that include but are not limited to: Cholesterol Lowering, Healthy Soy, Heart Smart, High Fiber, Lactose Free, Low Fat, Low Sodium, Low Sugar, Type 2 Diabetes and Vegetarian. There is a plan available for nearly everything. eDiets has an option in the food plan that allows you to eat out, cook with wonderful recipes, or convenience foods (frozen entrees) or a combination of all these. There is a really wonderful substitution list as well. Also available is a food data bank that is so helpful.
Back to my personal story for a quick moment. I had been with eDiets for about 5 weeks, when I realized I was feeling so much better and some of the problems that had caused the break up with my boyfriend no longer existed. I had a really great handle on my emotions thanks to my friends at eDiets and the Online meeting.s I called my ex boyfriend and we began to communicate. Now we are planning a wedding ceremony on the beach sometime later this year.
My goal is to become an "eDiets Success Story!" I really enjoy reading about eDiets Success Stories in the eDiets newsletter.
The support is 24/7. There are over 85 support groups to support you. There are groups related to age, location, addictions, eating disorders, hobbies (HTML), motivation, and spirituality to name just a few.
You can get online support as well as with a real live person at the eDiets 800 number. I have used both these mthods to get answers to questions and always they have been able to help me within moments.
If you are unsure about joining eDiets you can go to eDiets.com and log in as a guest. You will be able to get a fell for eDiets this way.There are even online Guest Challenges and Support Boards that you can take part in. You will not be able to navigate the entire sight, but you will be able to experience some of eDiets that way.
However if you are wanting something fun, cost effective, 24/7 support, with wonderful Online Meetings, food options and motivation I say WELCOME to eDiets. If you work the plan you will have your desired results. Weight Loss is not a quick fix, the weight gain did not happen overnight. you will discover that eDiets is dedicated to helping you make "healthy lifestyle changes" become permanent changes in your life. eDiets is a total plan and also has fitness options available to you. The exercises are explained with "Gabby" the virtual instructor showing you correct form. This a a really cool feature.
I hope to see you at eDiets soon! You could also be setting yourself free just as I am.
