DonnA-- Our thoughts definitely match up on this! I know we're talking semantics here, and that "diet" can be a general term refering to any regulated selection of foods, but...I also try not to use the phrase "I'm on a diet", because that's something you temporarily do, then gain all the weight back.
I prefer "establishing a healthy eating lifestyle", which will have weight loss as a natural byproduct.
I don't want to be a part of the 95 percent of diets that fail.
I say to myself: "I'm learning a new way to live, not a way to diet." Permanent weight loss happens as a result of a permanent change in your eating and exercise lifestyle. You must learn to eat right *for life*. --Jed
