I always like buying a new belt, or using a new hole on my watch strap.

I just had to google NSV then! Congratulations! I keep neglecting to chomp back my exercise calories, fear Italy be setting me back a bit.

It's a trick to avoid being hard wired into expecting instant gratification. As such, it's very easy to tempt people with promises of minimal effort-instant results type thing. Fad diets, vitamin pills, etc. We all need to be a little zen sometimes, I suppose.

Bump for the link! That's good to know.

Why the hell not...

Welcome back!

Hello everyone! Sheffield here... sadly, nowhere near enough snow to make a man!

Thanks for this. I like your ideas about portion-size-restriction. Apples are wonderful things! I am absolutely lousy at self-regulation in this way though - when I've lost weight before, it's been a matter of not having bad things at all, rather than smaller ones. I have a very big sweet tooth, and find it difficult to…

I, am fairly new here, so this is my first forum post... eep! I went to a 40 inch waist when buying a new pair of trousers for the first time, after about 18 months of neglecting exercise and still cooking very indulgent foods. I also remember how much lighter my mood was when I was not so heavy, and a little bit of me…
