>>I have an endocrinologist for my general medical needs, as well as 
>>diabetic care.  She's not much help with weight loss.  She just says "lose 
>>weight". Well, she did say to eat smaller meals throughout the day instead 
>>of two or three big ones.  I've lost weight about half a dozen times, only 
>>to gain it back again.  Dieting, however I define it, doesn't seem to be a 
>>long term solution for me.  The one that worked best is weight watchers. 
>>I'm considering trying it again, online this time, because I hear that now 
>>you can eat whatever you want, as long as you add the point value and 
>>don't go over your total.  The biggest problem I have is emotional eating. 
>>That's sometimes called the "Oh, screw it", factor.  There's no easy 
>>solution for that.  The best thing was Meridia, but I had to give it up 
>>because it raised my blood pressure too much.  I'm between forty and fifty 
>>pounds overweight, depending on which of several numbers should be my 
>>normal weight.  That disqualifies me for weight loss surgery.

>> Anyone have any thoughts on this?
