Coping with Addiction to Food
A friend and I were talking about weight loss a while back. We both came to the strangest agreement about our favorite "bad foods"... 1. They will always be there... 2. I already know what they taste like, so I don't have to go back and "try it" at every opportunity... 3. I can get that food when I have "earned" it, not…

For my reward...
If I can maintain a healthy lifestyle, and keep myself fit and upbeat, I think I deserve a reward. I'd really like a tattoo with two of my favorite kanji characters (I speak Japanese).
