I wrote this particular paragraph in mid July — but you may be reading it months or even years later.

It doesn’t matter. Not one bit.

If you are determined that you must lose a bunch of weight, you can’t put it off. It won’t be any harder or any easier at any other time.

You know from years of frustration — there is no good time to start a diet.

There may be major holidays coming up, family gatherings, maybe a long-planned trip, or final school tests, or work deadlines.

There’s always something, isn’t there?

I realized that, of course. I knew that diets don’t work.  I knew that making drastic changes to your lifestyle could be impossible.  I knew that whatever your intentions, there would always be an excuse why you just couldn’t get started right now.

And we all know that tomorrow never comes.

That’s why I devised a common sense method that doesn’t require you to eliminate some foods and add others that you might not enjoy.  I know that if you are restricted in how much you can eat and what types of things you can eat, that your diet is doomed from the start.

I know that your job doesn’t stop, and your family obligations won’t go away, and there is enough stress and frustration in everyday life without getting involved in the “dreaded diet mode.”

So no matter what is going on — you can start immediately.  No waiting until first of the year, or your next birthday, or until your pain-in-the-neck relatives go home, or you have a two-week vacation.

You can do it now.
