"Good morning. How are you today, Mrs. Johnson?" asked the nurse.
"Just fine, thank you" replied Mrs. Johnson. But, just as she said it as a reflex, underneath, she was not so sure. She knew that she had not been able to show any improvement in her weight. She had tried her best and yet the scales were going against her.
"How is it possible?” she murmured to herself. She knew she was hungry all the time. She knew she had said “NO” to her most favorite pecan pie on Christmas Eve. She knew she could eat more. Her stomach growled almost every time she left the table. And yet, the scales could not be wrong.
She wanted to ask the nurse - "Is it possible to eat smaller quantities of food and still not be able to lose weight?"

"Congratulations George, you have done it and, in spite of the holiday season" someone was heard saying.
As Dr. George came out of the doctor's office with a bright smile on his face, everyone in the entire waiting room had eyes fixed on him.
All had the same questions for George.
"How did you do it, George?"
"What is your secret?"

Ann had tears in her eyes. She knew she was overweight. She had tried her best. She had read magazines, attended programs, taken special diets, but nothing had worked for her for long. She was sad, frustrated, and angry and wanted to know why.

Benjamin was scared stiff about his cholesterol and his weight after he learned recently about his friend's heart attack at age 42. He wanted to do something but did not know how.

Catherine was anxious. She was a traveling salesperson. She had no time to be picky about her diet. She had to eat on the run. She was ambitious. She enjoyed power lunches. She sure wanted to know what to eat and where would be best.

Debra was a mother of three. She had read many recipe books but soon realized that one or two recipes don't make the entire day's eating. She tries to read all the labels but how much time can she spend reading labels? Also, she wanted to know when she should start being concerned about the diet of her family. They are all so young and healthy and she wanted them to stay that way.
Edward was wondering about the articles in the newspaper, programs on TV and radio about incidence of heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, and diet factors. He wondered if it was all true or only the media hype. His family was raised on the farm and he just was not sure if he needed to change anything.
