It took me 3 tries to give up smoking after 13 years, and I was able to do it then only after I’d quit drinking.\u00a0 Neither was easy, but they pale in comparison to the next, similar challenge.\u00a0 Over the last few years I’ve gradually added a pound here, a pound there, until all of a sudden, to paraphrase Everett Dirksen, I’m talking about real weight.<\/p>\n
Now, I’m not obese, but I have passed certain personal barriers and seem headed further south.\u00a0 This means I have to deal with this somehow.<\/p>\n
A while back I wrote about the simple method of losing weight.\u00a0 Eat less food.\u00a0 I did it. Lost 6 pounds and felt great.\u00a0 Problem is, I found them.\u00a0 Then added a couple more.<\/p>\n
That out of control feeling has begun to sneak up on me.\u00a0 Not a personal favorite.\u00a0 At some point here a hook, a handle on eating has to be found; but, right now I’m not seeing it and we’re headed for a cruise, which means 24\/7 food available.<\/p>\n
My personal creed has always been not to die of something preventable.\u00a0 So far, so good.<\/p>\n
