Diets don't work so now what do I do?

Dr. Robert Moore will be my Living smart guest on June 23rd at 3pm and thursday June 28th at 1:30pm. He's not only very handsome but extremely fit and happy as well. There is a secret to this..and he knows it..so I tried to find out and you'll have to watch the show to get the permanent weight loss tips I learned from him.
All my life I have done every diet on the book and I still I have not been able to shed those extra 10 to 15 pounds that of course would make me look just right (or better yet, how I want to look) I think if I took notes on what I did during the many hours of my life I have spent talking about dieting, food, cravings, dinners, lunches etc. It would probably be half or more of my life. I LOVE TO EAT...Did you hear that? I JUST LOVE IT! and there is not one type of food I dislike, except maybe ants, dogs or crickets. ( yes, some people still do eat those) Thus my dilemma. Every time I eat something I shouldn't to keep my weight down which is almost everything I like..chocolates, sweets, crepes, french bread, fried rice etc etc, one voice tells me "Patti you got to live life!! the other yells at me "Don't do it..Here you go again, giving in to the delicious temptation." What will determine how much I weigh in the future is which voice I decide to hear.
That is why I really enjoyed talking to Dr. Moore. He made it sound so easy and sensible. He does excercise a lot, I will give him that but I don't have to look like him or a hollywood star? I just need to look.....well....perfect!!! He insists we need to understand our bodies work like machines. Whatever we put in will affect how the machine works. He, as I am, is concerned about obesity. How did we get this far? After three documentaries on the topic I have to say it has mostly to do with what we eat and we must as Americans, start thinking about what we put in our machine and it has to start with children.
Did you know if a child is obese before the age of 18, he or she will most likely be overweight the rest of his or her lives? In some countries obesity in children is considered child abuse. Personally I would have to look at each case with a number of experts to decide that but as adults we do have a responsibility to inform ourselves about what we are putting into our children's mouths.
If you think carefully, what we eat will determine our health in the long run. I invite you to watch Dr. Moore. Okay, I'll be nice and share one tip...You must eat every two hours..What..you'll have to watch to find out!
