My brother asked me an interesting question this weekend, "How long have you been dieting, Linda?" It seemed to come out of the blue, so I hesitated. He continued, "Has it been twenty years?" I then had to admit it had been more like thirty-five years. He gave me the old Dr. Phil comeback, "How's it been working for you?" Of course, that question needed no answer.

How has it been working for me? That has been ringing in my ears for two days. It's obvious I struggle in that area. He thinks I need to let go of the food-focus and throw my scale away! He says food is not the problem; my focus is the problem.

I have alot to think about. How do I change my focus?
