The rollercoaster of dieting..

Some of the women and I were talking at gymnastics the other night about the roller coaster of dieting. You lose weight, then put it all back on, and sometimes you even put on more than your originally began with. Then you try another diet, lose weight and again put it all back on.

One of the ladies there was a grandparent of the little gymnast. As an older woman, she said she is unable to lose weight no matter what. She is at the point that she can't really much exercising and her weight is actually settling into her legs. No amount of dieting has helped her. She has tried everything short of weight loss surgery.

Some of the other women told about people they knew who had went through weight loss surgery and now are much healthier and have improved their quality of life.

One of them is going to bring information next week for some support groups for her to join. Hopefully she will find a way to feel better about herself soon.
