Supplement 1: Stages of Dieting

Introduction: Why the other diets just don't work
So many of us have tried them all: Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, none of them work. Some of them help you learn how to get the weight off, but the moment you stop, BANG!, you're back up again. Well, that sucks, doesn't it?
That's because the diet industry, all of it is, is designed to make sure that you, the average overweight American, don't succeed. After all, if you finally lose the weight and keep it off, than suddenly you don't need to keep buying their stuff. And they're out alot of money.

Here on C-C, though, we can teach you, from experience, how to lose weight, how to keep it off and we don't even charge!

I wouldn't advise trying to leap any tall buildings though, single bound or no. I find it painful.
#97 rahana316 Aug 18 2006 22:51
wow great job HK. I wish Erik has a feature in which we could make certain topics stay at the top. Kind of like a sticky so that we dont have to keep bumping it up.  And we should attach to it's heading "please read this before posting and asking adivce."

Excellent job though. :)

Whoa!  I'm impressed!  I don't have time to read all of it now (although I've read most from your journal! :D), but it is definitely going to be a great resource!! 

And, new people are already reading it!  Whoo hoo! :)
