I've been Dieting the last 6 months. I've got a kid on the way and I don't want to be a fat dad. Have you been on a diet in the past?

Dieting
Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight. In other words, it is conscious control or restriction of the diet. A restricted diet is often used by those who are overweight or obese, sometimes in combination with physical exercise, to reduce body weight. Some people follow a diet to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle). Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight and improve health. In particular, diets can be designed to prevent or treat diabetes. Diets to promote weight loss can be categorized as: low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low-calorie, very low calorie and more recently flexible dieting.
Body image
Body image is a person's perception of the aesthetics or sexual attractiveness of their own body. The phrase "body image" was first coined by the Austrian neurologist and psychoanalyst Paul Schilder in his book "The Image and Appearance of the Human Body" (1935). Human society has at all times placed great value on beauty of the human body, but a person's perception of their own body may not correspond to society's standards. The concept of body image is used in a number of disciplines, including psychology, medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy and cultural and feminist studies. The term is also often used in the media.
Fat acceptance movement
The fat acceptance movement (also known as the size acceptance, fat liberation, fat activism, fativism, or fat power movement) is a social movement seeking to change anti-fat bias in social attitudes. Areas of contention include the aesthetic, legal, and medical approaches to people whose bodies are fatter than the social norm. The movement has been criticized, with Cathy Young, writing for the "Boston Globe", claiming that "the fat acceptance movement is hazardous to our health", and Barbara Kay, writing for the "National Post", stating that "fat-acceptance is not the answer to obesity." However, studies have shown that stress is linked to obesity, and that encouraging fat people to focus on their excess weight has been linked to an increase in over-eating.
List of recurring The Simpsons characters
"The Simpsons" includes a large array of supporting characters: co-workers, teachers, family friends, extended relatives, townspeople, local celebrities, fictional characters within the show, and even animals. The writers originally intended many of these characters as one-time jokes or for fulfilling needed functions in the town. A number of them have gained expanded roles and have subsequently starred in their own episodes. According to the creator of "The Simpsons", Matt Groening, the show adopted the concept of a large supporting cast from the Canadian sketch comedy show "Second City Television".
Yo-yo effect
Yo-yo dieting or yo-yo effect, also known as weight cycling, is a term coined by Kelly D. Brownell at Yale University, in reference to the cyclical loss and gain of weight, resembling the up-down motion of a yo-yo. In this process, the dieter is initially successful in the pursuit of weight loss but is unsuccessful in maintaining the loss long-term and begins to gain the weight back. The dieter then seeks to lose the regained weight, and the cycle begins again. The reasons for yo-yo dieting are varied but often include embarking upon a hypocaloric diet that was initially too extreme. At first the dieter may experience elation at the thought of weight loss and pride in their rejection of food.
Fat feminism
Fat feminism or body-positive feminism is a form of feminism that merges with fat acceptance movement and specifically addresses how misogyny and sexism intersect with sizeism and anti-fat bias. Body-positive feminists promote acceptance for women of all sizes. Fat feminism originated during second-wave feminism. Fat feminism has come a long way and is still expanding. In this, now third-wave of feminism, fat feminists are fighting for their independence to just be happy with their bodies and wear what they want without receiving criticism for it. Sizeists have negative opinions about people who are "over-weight" such as being lazy, eating unhealthy foods more often than they should, and think that people who are over-weight shouldn't wear certain types of clothing.
Atkins diet
The Atkins diet, also known as the Atkins nutritional approach, is a commercial weight-loss program devised by Robert Atkins. The Atkins diet is classified as a low-carbohydrate fad diet. There is only weak evidence for its effectiveness in helping achieve sustainable weight loss. There is only weak evidence that the Atkins diet is effective in helping people achieve short-term weight loss, or that it is better than not dieting at all in the longer term. One review found that the Atkins diet led to 0.1% to 2.9% more weight loss at one year compared to a control group which received behavioural counselling.
