Most people who use weight loss meal plans, mostly incorporate unprocessed foods, including raw fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes (peas, beans, lentils, etc), and white meats and poultry often find that they can eat as much as they want without gaining a lot of weight. The reality is that most people deep down know the secret to healthy weight loss meal plans, but they don’t want to do anything about using it.

As a recovering obese person I’m starting to question all this examining, digging, and analyzing of WHY people are obese. That there’s some deep dark secret we’re hiding that causes our obesity. Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser, and now her own show, Losing it with Jillian, is a big proponent of digging into people’s sordid pasts and trying to find that deep dark secret. I love Jillian, The Biggest Loser, and Losing it with Jillian. She cares and I understand what she’s trying to do.

On March 17th I was contacted by Melody Barnes, Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and asked to submit my ideas for solving our country’s childhood obesity epidemic. The deadline was March 26th, so there wasn’t much time to get back to her with the solution to what is arguably the most difficult behavioral health problem our population has. But I was sure I could do it. I had been preparing for this job my whole life.

Most people think that to lose weight you have to deny yourself your favorite foods and stick to a rigid diet. On the contrary, one of the keys to permanent weight loss is learning how to eat everything you like, even “splurging” on the weekend, without gaining weight. This is not only possible, but it is absolutely necessary if you want to lose weight permanently.

Visualizing, imaging, vision maps and vision boards —affirmations, self-talk, self-image and body image. This is the language of the mystical psychology of Creative Self-Improvement. It is a quasi-scientific method of remaking one’s self into a new and better model, devoid of the mistakes and defects of our past and present. With its use, we can become a new self, healthier, happier and more successful with new traits and characteristics. This transformation is not simply a matter of maturation or application of will power.

My most vivid childhood memories are from grade school. They are awful memories of ugly days, too many to count. I was “the fat kid.” Every year, the school nurse would make her way from room to room, a doctor’s scale in tow. When she got to our room, we were called by name, and we got weighed. It was like walking to the gallows. I used to think that my misery was unique, but at age 58, as a psychotherapist who has heard thousands of people tell their most intimate secrets, I’ve learned that I am far from alone.

I love to eat. For years, I thought that was the reaso I had my weight problem. As a kid, the so-called experts told me I’d have to deny that part of myself to succeed —I’d need to stop enjoying myself and get used to doing what I hated. To solve my weight problem, they said I’d have to make myself stick to hateful diets and exercise routines. I tried, but I just couldn’t do it, and I always thought of myself as a weak-willed failure. But it turns out the so-called experts were wrong. They didn’t know what they were talking about.

Just about everyone who admits to loving “comfort food” is confessing to a kind of food addiction. Unlike other creatures, human beings use food to satisfy a whole array of needs that have nothing to do with nutrition. Our four-legged relatives don’t eat because they are depressed, tired, lonely, or bored—they eat because they need the nutrition, and they stop when they’ve gotten enough. We, on the other hand, eat for a variety of reasons, and for some of us, there is never enough.

Many people weren't interested in losing weight as much as sculpting their bodies. All they wanted to change was the part they were unhappy with.

Bulimia is binge eating, usually followed by vomiting to compensate. Both have complex causes, but both eating disorders are treatable.

But, among all their worthwhile questions, three stand out. How Can I Change?

Are you struggling with your self-esteem? Many times the pressures of being a “perfect” teenager can bring us down and begin a path of a negative relationship with food. As a teenager you may struggle with getting good grades, making friends, starting to date and pleasing your parents.

We may even begin to develop a teenage eating disorder.

The help is there, even when it sometimes takes a little digging to find it.

According to the dictionary, the word freedom means: "freedom, pertaining to those individuals who enjoy personal liberty, exempt from work or specific obligation."

Binge eating, bulimia and other problems are not genetically programmed into some people. Of course, the old saying here — easier said than done — is definitely true.

It goes well beyond simply the normal cravings we all have for goodies or snacking between meals. It's a serious illness. Fortunately, there are effective treatments. Binge eaters continue to gorge themselves long after normal hunger pangs have subsided, long after they feel full even. Yet, the person feels helpless to stop. No amount of guilt stops them.

Fat as Hiding Very often people unconsciously hold onto fat as a way of hiding a secret or something about themselves that they don’t want to share, much in the same way a child might hide under a blanket.

Some of the most common things that I see people try to hide with fat are: Having a lot of debt: Those of you who watch Suze Orman have heard this before and in my experience it’s true.

Over-giving The arch nemesis of healthy balanced relationships is over-giving and unfortunately many of us do it all the time.

While I am not saying it’s bad to help someone who needs it or to participate in charity work, you much make sure you are not over giving in your personal relationships to the point where you are creating an out of balance relationship with someone.

2013 is the year to finally transform your body. You have tried diet after diet; after all there is always the next best thing. How many of us have changed to the next diet mid-current diet? Why isn’t this working for you? Why are you never moving forward in achieving your weight loss goals? You ask, “What is wrong with me?” Then you berate yourself for being a loser (everywhere in your life, but in weight loss); for not having the willpower to follow through with your goals; or for being a failure.

Do you remember when you were a toddler? Every time your mother or father asked you a question your answer was, “Why?” You wanted to know why the sky was blue and why you had to go to bed, etc. As a parent, if they knew the answer to your question, they would patiently tell you.

A healthy weight can of course vary depending on many factors. However, there is a range used by doctors and physicians to determine whether or not a person falls within a healthy weight. Fat distribution across the body can also be used to determine certain risk factors including for instance a person's risk for heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases.

Not only does reaching a plateau put a stop to the weight loss progress, but it can also really wreak havoc on a dieter’s motivation to continue on.

After loosing some of the excess weight, the body essentially pulls at the reigns and says wait a minute, let’s just hang on a second.

Just as it’s important to consume fewer calories when trying to lose fat, it’s also important that you’re active throughout the day to expend more calories. You can help create a caloric deficit not only by eating small portions of the right types of foods, but also by being more active throughout the day. If the goal is to expend more calories than you consume, then it only makes sense that you’d want to be more active to make sure you create a caloric deficit.

You must become flexible enough to allow it to become a comfortable, enjoyable way of life. Then these healthier habits will work with you and for you rather than against you.
