I agree with your post. When my dad passed away in 2002, I gave up. I didn't care about my health or anything else for that matter. It took me almost five years to finally kick my own ass and say, "enough is enough". I stopped eating fried foods, sodas and started living again. I posted a picture of myself up in the galleries, from 2004. Back when I was 210lbs. I showed this picture to several co-workers, all of whom, could not believe that was me. While I was at the grocery store lastnight, I normally pick up the French Vanilla flavor of creamer from Coffee Mate. I looked at all of the nutritional facts and realized, the Original flavor had 15 less calories, no sodium, no cholesterol and no sugar. I brought the Original flavor home with me. Losing weight is the easy part, keeping it off is even harder. I refuse to gain any of the weight back that I have lost since January of 2007.
I cannot eat a lot of certain nuts or to much wheat due to food allergies. Which makes this very hard and like Corkey said, most of these ingredients are in processed foods...
Good luck and remember, that you can do it!

There is no magic way to lose weight.
I'm going to be harsh here because I need to say it for myself...
The only way to lose weight and keep it off it to stop putting crap into your body and get moving.
That's it... that is the ONLY way...
I've gained 50 lbs in the last two years...
I'm heaver than I have ever been in my life... 224
Why? Because I over ate, I ate crap, I stopped being mindful of my addiction and I poisioned my body with sugar and fat to the point where I now physically crave the shit...
I feel like shit because I stopped moving... All my muscle has turned to flab.... My back hurts/goes out because of the weight of my belly, my feet/ knees hurt because my frame is not meant to suport all this extra weight.
Nothing is going to change any of this except me stop putting crap in my mouth and get moving....
Cookies, brownies, my lovely french bread, chips, gravy, fried foods, process foods... It's all crap... It's poision... My body is starving, dying of thirst while I sit here and drink my hazlnut coffee with it's two sugars... My fourth cup today...
I have fruit rotting in the fridge, but that bag of cheese popcorn my son left here last night is half gone
Sigh... I say... no more... no more trying to trick my body into thinking that the snackwells are ok to eat because they are *reduced fat*
I say no more to trying to kill myself the slow way because I'm bored, or upset or *well, she knows I have a problem with (insert junk food of choice) and she brought it into the house so I'm going to eat all of it*
I've been over weight since I was 9 yrs old... I know how to lose weight, I know how to keep it off... It's hard, and it hurts, and it SUCKS big time to look at a piece of bread and ask myself.. *Is this more important that you?*
But It's time... Before there is no more time...
