Government is not reason, it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
-George Washington
George Washington could have said that about a lot of things. There are many things in this world that are fine in certain context, but when it gets out of control: look out.
I’m sure you’re thinking of some others right now…
It is not by muscle, speed or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment.
–Cicero
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the book Body by Science. When I first started eating differently, I followed the advice I still believe: eat right first. Then you’ll feel better and start losing some weight, and then you’ll have interest and energy for exercise. Exercise is not your primary or first weight loss tool.
But now I do feel good, and this book was recommended by several people whose opinions in these areas I respect. I read it and started putting into practice. I haven’t discussed it till now because I wanted to give you some results to go with it. Those will come in Post #2.
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory—let the theory go. ― Agatha Christie

Nurse, what’s wrong?
Doctor, thank goodness you’re here. One of your patients is doing very poorly.
Oh no! Which one?

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.

The Roommate’s latest suggestion for a post is to reflect on why people might try ditching the gov’mint approved Food Pyramid (we’re 100 certain!) and then after a while give up on this new way of eating.
And by “ditching the Food Pyramid” I don’t mean going on the cookie diet.
As “Dr.” Siegal says, “Hunger Wrecks Diets®©™,” so order all your cookies and shakes now and don’t ever stop eating. That’s the key. And also don’t forget to take all the nutritional supplements, since cookies apparently don’t provide all the nutrition you need.
