Question:
Can anyone show me a sample of past diet history?
I am a fairly good record keeper when it comes to bills and payments but when it comes to diets I can't begin to tell you how many "journals" I have toosed out. Now I really don't know more than just the last year or so of diets. Can anyone show me or send me a sample of what they gave their physicians to show them their diets? I am 30 and have done many a diet since I was 15 but to save my life I can't fully remember too many. My email is [email protected]. thanks in advance!! — Katrina M. (posted on August 1, 2001)

I put together a photo journal starting at age 4 years to the present. I
found that this really jogged my memory about past weight loss attempts. It
was a real smack of reality to see myself deflate and inflate like a
balloon!

My co-worker Julia has a great history on her profile page:

Here is a list of most diet plans to help "jog" your memory.
My surgeon had me fill out a form showing all the diets I have been on in
my life. First I filled out the parts I knew the dates and pounds for
certain, then I went back and "guestimated" the others. I also
put a notation on the page at the top saying I had estimated because of the
long time frame. I'm reproducing the form here for others to benefit and
help them remember their diet history.

My form was not neatly filled out...it had scribbled little notes all over
and included notes like "Every New Year's resolution", "I
gained more than I lost", "Taken off market", "didn't
work", "We moved to place where the center didn't have a
location." Many of the diet plans I had tried over and over again,
failing each time and these were noted with the estimated dates. (Try to
remember significant events in your life --i.e. birth of child, death of
loved one, new job, etc.,-- to help you estimate the dates.) Hope this
helps!
