How to Stick to Your Diet at Parties

Lori Boxer Director Weight No More Diet Center

Male: You probably heard this question a thousand times, my son came upon this and my daughter is getting married. I want to lose a certain weight for this year. Probably that is the worst question you can ask because it means you are not here for a quick fix for a long term, but how do you handle it if someone asks that question? Female: Well, first of all, first I chuckle, and I do get that question a lot, okay. It is almost as if my son is gaining all this for the – how much weight can I lose by then, I would certainly the one who listen if your son Volmits for this Tuesday, forget it. You might as well come in on Wednesday because there is no way. And we do tell people right from the beginning, listen if your son Volmits for two months from now, can you lose depending upon how much weighting in to lose. And eight weeks from now, can you lose 15 pounds? Absolutely, you can be down one size in your dress that you are planning to wear for sure. I am realistic, I mean what we do is not quick fix guiding. This is about changing bad habits and learning how to eat correctly. So again, it depends, if somebody says to me I am taking my son to Israel at the end of the year, we are going to be his Volmits, first is going to be at the whaling wool. Can they lose 50 pounds? Absolutely they can. It depends, but most people do not, most people wait till the last minute. Male: So you do not like to say, you will fix it for an affair. Female: No. Male: You want to fix it for the life. Female: Of course, of course I do. Male: Because you want to see the grandchildren, their great grandchildren? Female: That is exactly right and so to get to that point, because it happen not too longer but when I said to somebody, listen, if you are talking about the Volmits, it would be in next Sunday. I was very candid, this is what is happening. Male: But there is a way on losing all the weight by Sunday, three glasses of bottled Mexican City water. Female: No, I will tell somebody, listen, take in those fish shakes and just pee it out, it is not happening in my place but I do say for them, listen, you want to be an active, youthful, energetic grandma that is what you should be planning for, not just be a sponge bob. Let us plan for what it is going to be married in ten years from now. I tried to encourage them that way but people do, most people wait so long because they are in denial by how much they weight but it is until they go to pick out the dress to wear to the Volmits, then it hits them. And that is usually a multiple before, if it is very soon to the event that moms realized how much weight they would like to lose. Male: So, in other words, if they are really thinking that is the reason to stock, the program you are going to try to get them in to the program, it is not for the affair. It is for the rest of your life. Female: That is exactly right. And we do that for everybody whether they are coming in there, whether they are about to be new brides, we say to them, listen, we can help you but you are not going to lose 75 pounds here in two months, it is just not going to do it. Would you feel much better about yourself, would it be better instead of being 75 pounds overweight for your wedding? Would it be better to be 50 pounds overweight for your wedding? Any weight loss up until your wedding day is going to make you feel sexy. It is going to make you feel good about yourself that is why you are doing this, that is why. Male: So in other words, it is a realistic approach. Female: Of course. Male: But sometimes that is the reason to get started and you can get them into the altar. Female: Listen, whatever it is that propels them to get started is a good thing.
