Food's addictive too. You eat less than your body thinks it needs and you'll know about it.
OK - I'm a bit overweight. Only 20 pounds or so, but that's 70,000 calories I didn't need that I ate.
If MoeJoe can give up smoking, I can stop comfort eating. If I only eat when I'm hungry, and only until I'm not hungry, I'll be fine.
So I'm in. I won't snack, and I won't over-eat. Perhaps I can lose that 20lb by this time next year. (I know - less than 1/2 lb a week doesn't sound a lot. But it's still 200 calories per day. I think I can manage that.)
