How Do They Do It?

I am not above asking how to people not eat? It has always been a skill I do not seem to possess. I want to learn how people can eat one simple meal a day and not be cranky and irritable. I seem to spend my day thinking out my next meal and snack. Last year I got sick twice each for one week and had gum surgery. It was the best diet I had. Boy I loved weighing in at Weight Watchers those weeks! Here we are the day after Easter and all I can hear is the siren call from the chocolate that is living in my house. I hate being overweight, I hate the way it feels. I can't stand how my belly hangs when I sleep at night. You think that would be enough to motivate me. Somehow all day I forget and when night comes I suddenly remember why I need to stop snacking. Late afternoon is the worst. I could eat the calories for a large man just in the hours of 3-6. I keep hoping for some kind of quick fix. I fantasize about liposuction, some pill which will make the weight just drop off, anything rather than stop eating. Weight Watchers seems to work for me but I hate writing down everything I eat. That's the part that helps but I still hate it. The same way I hate writing things down in my checkbook. Who wants to look back at that mess? It's only getting worse too. As I near 40 it gets harder to lose the weight. Exercising doesn't help as much. I look back at photos and realize I was in pretty good shape years ago but I only remember feeling fat. Maybe I need to adjust my perception, but that's pretty hard when every tv show and magazine shows only size 0 women. I don't know, maybe a snack will help me think...
