EMAIL THREAD How Have You Ended The Yo Yo Diet Cycle? This is a bog post from personal development coach Joshua Wayne discussing an approach to ending the yo yo diet cycle from a mindset standpoint. It would be interesting to hear from those of you who have been able to successfully transition away from the yo yo. What were the practical steps that you took, how did you do this? -Jackie Link Fri. Feb 6, 7:59am

yo-yo diet stops here! I have found a cardio class that I love & can't wait to go to. (I've only been doing it for the past 2 months, but I'm paid up through September, so that helps me go & "not waste money") It's a 1hr cardio Akimbo (kickboxing) class that's a high-energy class. I currently still feel like I still "die" - get all red-faced, drip with sweat so bad that I have to wear a big shirt just to absorb my sweat that runs all down me. (Can you tell I'm a clean girl? I don't like to sweat) But after I'm done I feel SO GOOD. Never in my life have I ever felt so good. It's like something just clicked & my body said, "Well, it's about time!" So my point is, I found something I love & I can stick with it, even in the winter months, cause it's an indoor thing. So with all the healthy eating tips from this site, logging, group support & kickboxing 3 times a week - this is what is going to stop me from going back to my "fat weight". Haven't gone backwards yet, so the more I lose, the more I gain confidence to say, "I feel I'm at a 9 or a 10 that I'm done with yo-yo-ing! Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 12:12 PM

I learned about nutrition- in the real sense! Not what one doctor recommends you eat to lose weight, but what my body really needs overall, not just to lose weight but to live. I started to eat a more balance diet and eat things that I knew were going to be good for my body, like: blueberries, ground flax seed, oats & grains, lean meats, spinach other leafy vegetables. Once I started trying to eat some of these things every day I found I didn't have any other room in my stomach to eat all of the bad junk that I had wanted before. And, then I realized all my yo-yo dieting had failed because I was told I had to give up a food group and that led to binging later or trying to feed that craving with a dozen of other things and calories. So, I allow myself one cheat day a week where I don't think about my calories and I eat what sounds good; but in small portions throughout the day. That's how I gave up yo-yo dieting and I still get a little chuckle when I see & hear people talking about another crazy diet. Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 12:33 PM

Solved the diet dilemmas Figured out how 1) how to get PLEASURE from eating healthy and 2) how to eat out and have fun without gaining weight. These solutions share some things including- great restaurant style salads, lots of seafood- fish and shellfish, eggs, easy to digest foods like sweet potatoes and goat cheese. I gave up chicken and most meat in order to keep my favorites, wine and dark chocolate. FINALLY- biggest change of all. You change your identity to someone who does not eat corn-syrup, sugar and flour-based nutritionally deficit food. And then it is EASY!! Link Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 8:42 AM

I stopped yo-yo dieting by deciding a year ago to stop dieting. I just don't do it. I eat what I want, when I want it, and the only 'checks' I put on myself are not to stuff myself, not to eat dessert every day, and make sure to get in fruits and veggies every day. And I exercise moderately. When I'm not thinking about calories and numbers and nutrients and forbidden foods, I find that I gravitate to healthier choices anyway, and don't stress about it. I will never get model thin this way, but I am at a comfortable weight for me and have no trouble whatsoever staying there. I think the stress we put on ourselves trying to attain a super thin ideal is what causes the vicious cycle of on and off dieting and weight fluctuations. Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 11:34 AM
