lifestyle reforms

I've never liked the word "lifestyle". It so smacks of marketing. "Way of life" instead? But that's more fundamental: herding is a way of life, or nomadism, or capitalism, or consumerism, or hunting-gathering

Meowmeowmeow! :) I've found that what one can do is psych out the lizard brain by saying that it can have whatever it wants in the whole entire world and just not giving it that with your conscious brain. That way, the cravings aren't so bad that you can go.. 'I *could* have it' ... :)

But, I definitely wish you luck on altering of the lifestyle. Or way of life, or.. whatever you're going to call it.

It's true: The absolute "no" often makes the vice more appealing. As for sugar and diet sodas and the like, the rule is flexible enough so that I don't have to turn them down if someone serves them to me specially as a guest or a friend.

If I could order the vending machines at work removed from work, I would. They're the worst temptation. With them, it's best to frame act of being all alone shoving a dollar in a machine slot to get a bar or a can of some brown processed comestible as pathetic, or like a rat in a box pushing a lever or something.

Or that you're a sucker for punishment or something like that. I think that there's a part to everyone that reacts to 'no' with a 'the hell you say that to me' even when it's you saying it. Hopefully you're gettin some endurance.
