The doctor asked what my diet was like and I had to sit down and realize it's not normal, and hadn't been normal for about 20 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.
I have been on diets that were supervised by doctors, that were carefully supervised where I lost weight.
Most people start eating healthy after the doctor says they have a problem. That's just human nature.
I also started to eat sensibly. The weight just dropped off.
I had all kinds of food issues, including health concerns and weight concerns.
I have been on a diet since 1962.
When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.
I was quite thin, and I didn't have to worry until I had my appendix out and a mysterious metabolic change occurred.
I have to make sure I get the right amount of protein and iron, and I take supplements for that. I think people would be surprised if they saw my diet, though; it's very normal.
I followed the same diet for 20 years, eliminating starches, living on salads, lean meat, and small portions.
