Re: Weight loss programs that don't use meds

Some insurance companies including Medicare offer customers assistance with some particular medical issues that are chronic.

You may want to reach out to your health insurance company and ask them.

That sounds good and works for you, but doesn't seem to work for me.  I currently have no will power although I try and try!  I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world.  I go crazy if I don't satisfy it.  Problem is I'm not satisifed with a little....  And I can't just have a little of something in the house, as I'm not the only one in the house and they love and deserve their treats, too -- so that's more temptation for me!

I used WW years ago and didn't like it.  I looked on-line could find no real meetings in my area.  I also couldn't seem to find much info besides them pushing those meds, which I don't want.

Reading your post and screaming inside -- LOL!  I eat breakfast and have to -- take a lot of meds and I feel ill if I don't eat a substantial breakfast.  I am not one for eating many eggs and I don't think my stomach will take to eating a bunch of veges in the morning.  I am a tough case as I have a lot of physical issues.  Thank you!

I wish I had your mindset concerning food!  I am so totally out of whack --- I just can't seem to get it together.  I know what I should do as I have been on many, many eating plans and diets my whole life, but at this stage in my life, and with all of my health issues, I just can't seem to get it together.

I have a bad back and bad ankles.  I walk an hour a day most days.  I can't do much other exercises.  I have a hard time with cutting calories - hence my problem...

I have several of these types of books.  I have had years of counting calories and picking out foods which I should and shouldn't eat.  My brain knows the facts, but I can't seem to get it to accept what I need to do!

I think I might try and find a dietician but I live in a small town and I don't know if there are any here.  I don't want to do it on line, as I think I would do better with one in person.
