Dawn's surprising findings

Subject: What a difference
Dear Dr Amanda,
It has been 8 days since I started my Success Diary.
After 40 something years of yo yo dieting, peppered with binge eating and not knowing "normal", I can now see "normal".
What a freedom, what a revelation. I love seeing myself act normally around food, not using emotional upsets as an excuse to overeat. In fact, it seems a silly thing to do - I finally respect myself enough to not use my stomach as a garbage dump. Even in the face of emotional meltdown the other day, I still did the Success Diary and didn't overeat. I had one beautiful nougat that I
relished and enjoyed.
Before starting the diary I weighed in at 66.0 kilos. Today I weighed myself again and was 63.5 kilos!!! Wow. I am thrilled.
I wish you were here so that I could hug you - if you think 6 years of "diet torment" was bad, you can think of people like me who have tortured themselves for nearly all of their lives. I honestly thought that I was mentally ill. Thank-you, thank-you.
BTW, it was your DVD presentation that finally made me "get it".
With immense gratitude,
Dawn
It always makes my day to hear from people like Dawn when they discover that losing weight doesn't have to be the restrictive torture they may have known in the past. Go Dawn!

What our readers say...
"BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS I HAVE LOST A FURTHER FOUR KILOGRAMS. I am fifty-one years of age and since I have been about thirty years of age I have been on diets where I have lost weight over a short period of time and then regained the weight plus back again. At the beginning of this year I put myself through the same rigor not having any beer and eating nothing but rabbit food for about seven weeks. During this period I enrolled on a course held by the Sydney Community College, which had included in the subject matter “loose weight and keep it off”. After loosing nine kilograms on my crash diet my weight had plateaued by the time I attended the seminar presented by Amanda. I was astonished by the revelations that Amanda pointed out in relation to diets. Having a broad spectrum of foods, having foods as natural as possible and listening to the needs of my body, all backed up with scientific research made the impossible dream of keeping the weight off a reality. I have resumed a normal life again after my crash diet and am now following the rules of [The Don’t Go Hungry Diet] and I now drink premium beer (less processed) and eat a broad spectrum of foods and listen to the needs of my body and beyond my wildest dreams I have lost a further four kilograms. I have never lost weight before whilst having beers. "
