An automatic e-mail gets sent to the DietHobby viewers who have requested notice of new blogs whenever I post one.  However, I've recently noticed that all of these e-mails contain a link which brings the viewer to this Main Blog Page. This only becomes a problem when I'm adding new blogs that contain videos DIRECTLY to the Special Sections, which are:

• Book Talk;
• Diet Wisdom;
• Grandma's House;
• Recipes;
• Words of Wisdom
  

The Headers at the Top of DietHobby will take you direction to each of these sections. So, if you get an e-mail notice about a new blog, and don't see it here on the Main Page, it will be because I've posted it directly to one of these special sections.

This technical glitch came to my attention because right now, about once a day, I'm adding one of my short "Words of Wisdom" videos (each of which are about 20 seconds long), into the INDIVIDUAL Words of Wisdom Section. This generates an e-mail to the Main Blog, but there is no new blog shown on that main page.  I'm thinking that this might be a bit confusing, which is the reason for THIS Blog of Explanation.

I've got a lot more of these brief Words of Wisdom videos to add this next few months, so if this is a problem for you in the future, and you'd like to see the "missing" blog post, just go to the Words of Wisdom individual video section, and you will see it.  I've decided that when I MAKE and post any brand new Blogs for Recipes or Book Talk, that I'll post an additional notice on the Main Blog page, so they'll be easy to find.

Below is another copy of the Words of Wisdom video that I posted earlier today on the INDIVIDUAL videos page in the WORDS of WISDOM section.

                    
There is an Alternative to Dieting.

Essentially, It is:  Stop Dieting. Stop trying to lose weight.  Start understanding that dieting is NOT a solution in that it’s very unlikely to make you thin for longer than 2-5 years at the very most - and actually, it’s much more likely you’ll end up heavier than where you started.  .. and begin relying on your Internal Wisdom. 

There’s plenty of Marketing for this Alternative, and a hefty hourly fee… will get you help in the form of individual online contact, from one of a multitude of “dubiously licensed online counselors”  who charge about the same hourly rates as the professional Therapists and Psychologists who are licensed through State, Federal, or National medically-recognized agencies. 

Will this Alternative result in getting you Thin or to a “Normal” BMI weight?
Perhaps…. If your body is already in the “normal” or “overweight” range and has always been there. However, if your body has ever been well inside the “Obesity” BMI weight range for more than one or two years, it is Extremely unlikely.

For almost everyone, what happens is that a “successful” implementation of this alternative process will result in your body weight returning to, and settling at, its highest individual Set Point. For more information on that future probability read these articles: 
Set Point, and Running Down the Up Escalator.

Here's the Bottom line.
