"It is a real joy to me that this diet is something I can live with"

It warms our hearts to hear stories of success from readers like HB below who posted her words on The Serotonin Power Diet forum (and we are touched by the positive words about our program!):"Hi, SPD Fans. &;"I just had an interview with a nurse because we are signing up for long-term health insurance. &;During the extensive and nerve-wracking interview, I had the pleasure to state and later think about the fact that, last September, I made a life-style change. &;That&;s when I began the SPD. &;My satisfaction comes in realizing that something HAS changed. &;My lifestyle has, in fact, changed, thanks to the SPD. &;Counting the months, I realize that I have been eating and living a new way for 6 months!! &;I am amazed and thankful. &;I am not yet down to my goal weight. &;But, that is beside the point, to me. &;The great thing is that what worked for me in September works for me now. &;I have intended to make this a permanent change, and now, counting up the months, I am encouraged to discover that it has sustained me through six whole months. &;I am so relieved that this diet is satisfying and do-able. &;I know that I will need to tweak as I go along. &;But, I am thankful that I can live like this happily, while enjoying life, food, health and weight loss. It is a real joy to me that this diet is something I can live with. Are there others here who are thinking that this will be a lifestyle forever rather than a diet to get through till the number is right on the scale? &;"I am posting here [on The Serotonin Power Diet forum] because I really don&;t know very much about Facebook, and I don&;t want my SPD posts to be on my Facebook. &;If anyone knows how to make a Facebook post on the SPD site not show up on my Facebook page, I would appreciate it. &;It is not at all because I am ashamed of SPD. &;I am happy to share it with anyone who is interested in the subject. But for those friends who are not, I don&;t want to have diet posts show up. &;"Nina and Judy, I wish that you would go on a big book tour, so I could meet you and thank you both personally for the health and encouragement you have brought to me. &;I am lighter, fitter and healthier because of you. &;It is true that I am not at my goal. &;But, I see that my goal will come, and that the SPD will be part of my life forever. &;Thank you for the gifts you have given to me and the rest of the SPD community. &;God bless you both!!! &;&;:D ;) :) :-* ;D

[SPD] is a way [of eating] for the rest of my life

From a reader who gained weight on antidepressants:"This is the first plan I&;ve followed that it&;s not about the scale or struggling thru the eating plan till I can eat "normal" again. &;The destination is today, not 6 months or a year from today. &;"I am eating normal and healthy, today, I am eating in a way I can for the rest of my life, and I am eating in a way that I think can become 2nd nature in time."I feel like it is about feeding my body and gaining control of what food does to me. &;I&;m not thinking about what I&;m going to weigh in 6 months, I just feel like I know in 6 months I&;ll still be following SPD and if I can feel as good as I do right now I&;ll be happy."
