It's all about will power or control...whether to push yourself or to stop yourself.
It's all in the head. Being a foodie is like being a smoker. There's no two ways about it - one needs to accept that one is slipping and one needs to be harsh with oneself and stop.
We need to have the mind to think it through, the will to pause and the control to act in the right way. And I think we can do it. I still haven't quite figured it out but I really think we can do it because there have been plenty out there who have quit smoking successfully! ;-)
On another note. Just joined this mailing group - Think. Pause. Act for the duration of the Olympics. It lays down a tiny value challenge per day for us to follow and send it via email. Really cool and I think it feels really good to achieve following a value through everyday. It might just give us the will to get into that healthy lifestyle.

Oh and Anu - thanks for the invite - if there's anything to motivate oneself its being a part of a kindred group.

I just checked the site out. It's super cool. And a great concept. Also, I think it's a brilliant way to start your day and remind ourselves of the basics. Things that we conveniently choose to ignore.
