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 love it...especially chapter 5, specifically 5.1.  I think that is a key for most of us that we dont realize!
Way to go...when I see you next can I buy the book and have you sign it?

I finally sat and read through the whole thing.  I tagged it last week sometime, but didn't have time then.  I knew it would be good! 

Thanks, HK!  Great job!

So, I have a question for y'all.

I'm thinking of adding a little bit more information this post. It's not really complete and due to the way I wrote it, I never really put it out there for peer review.

Do you think I should rewrite the post, as a whole, or create an addendum?
