I used to get up in the morning and say, Well I will just eat "moderately" (whatever that means) and work towards losing weight. That never worked for me. I am too much of a compulsive overeater and I needed a good Food Plan (not diet) that I can live with and that suits my lifestyle. My favorite quote on this subject: "IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL" -- Isn't that great!!

i like that quote a lot pony!
i am a planner from way back, lists are my best friend!
i love the ww program because i can plan ahead and save points if i know that i have a special occasion coming up.
thanks for that quote..i am a quote fanatic!
hugs belinda :D

That is so very true Pony, I have found that even if it is not an in detail plan it is better than nothing, and that if I make a plan when I am going somewhere there is food I have something to stick to.
