I thought it was very interesting! I know for me, I have a difficult time with losing weight, but I can maintain weight without too much effort. I have to be REALLY disciplined, when I'm working on losing weight.

I enjoyed listening to Dr. Sharma's video clip. I have come to realize that as I approach the weight that is what I believe is good for me, that "rubber band" is stretched more and more. It'll be up to me how many mods can I endure before that rubber bands snaps! I'm counting on my weekends to eventually settle down to release some of the tension (yeah, I know it's a lot of rubber band talk).

You've always got me because I wasn't obese all my life.
I find that I don't have to expend the same effort all the time, but I do have to expend some effort at least some of the time. But it doesn't feel as if I'm having to hold a rubber band tight.
I also find that I need to go to events hungry. Not starving, but hungry. Staving off hunger before I go is a big mistake. I pick more, get even more full, and don't enjoy myself.
I think it's very important to think about adding soothing and uplifting activities to one's life as well as planning good meals and moderate regular exercise. I used to look at lists of things I could do instead of eating but still not choose to do them. But doing them as a kind of prescription sounds more compelling.
The guy sounds compassionate. I like that.

"never trust a diet book that has recipes.â€
“Telling obese people to ‘eat less and move more’ is like telling someone with depression to cheer up. It’s not that easy."
Amen!

I'm curious about what diet books don't have recipes. By that standard, most of them should be ousted. I guess that was his point. But they keep getting published.

One prime example of a diet book without recipes is "The No S Diet". ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
