Dieting doesn’t work. C’mon, if it did, we’d all be size 8 and running around in our bikinis this summer, wouldn’t we? And we’re not.

You’re probably like me. You think you’ve tried them all. I found a fun web site called Faddiet.com First one on the list, “The Cabbage Soup Diet.” Remember that one? I tried it when I was a teenager along with my mother. The actual soup tasted pretty good, and each day we were allowed certain other foods. It’s all there on the site. We could eat all the cabbage soup we wanted. It helps to like cabbage soup.

Most of the site is totally humorous. They do list the basics of the diets, but it’s funny. The Scarsdale Diet is listed, along with the Grapefruit Diet and the Caveman Diet. The Caveman Diet part was really funny. On Monday it says, “Breakfast: Ugh, me hate first day of week. I hungry.” Have you ever heard of the Russian Air Force Diet? Me, neither, but it’s there. Then there’s a link with 50 Diet Tips. Go see for yourself!

But, like I said, dieting doesn’t work. Why is that? When we think of a diet, we think of it as a short-term solution to a long-term problem. See the difficulty? We can’t just hop on a diet and get off when we’re done. No. It doesn’t work that way. Trust me, I’ve tried it. I’ve been dieting ever since I was a teenager. I’m 45 now and I’ve learned my lesson.

After getting up to 210 lbs several years ago, I was frustrated with dieting and frustrated with myself. I thought there was something I was doing wrong. Why didn’t the diet work? The answer is obvious. No matter what diet I did or how successful I was, I kept going back to the same old eating habits eventually. Now I’m down to 130 lbs and I’ve been there for several years.

How did I do it? I stopped dieting and changed the way I eat for the rest of my life. I stopped eating the things I knew put weight on me and started eating only what I can stay thin with. You know your body. You can do this. Consult a nutritionist if you want, too. I also started exercising. I hate exercising, so I do yoga and I swim. Sometimes I take a dance class. My rule is that I exercise for at least half an hour, preferably an hour, at least three times a week. That finally worked.
