Remember how I created the "truffle diet?" I bought huge bags of mint and dark chocolate lindt truffles, and ate them with and between every meal. I was so paranoid that I'd put on weight that I did the cardio I loathe. I ate about 5 lbs of chocolate a week, and lost 2 lbs or so. Well, a fellow has created what he calls "intuitive eating." You eat whatever and whenver you want, and surround yourself with foods you want to eat. The only catch is you can only eat when you're hungry, you gotta exercise, and you stop eating when you're not hungry. Sounds like when I created the truffle diet, I should have written a book. I could have been rich (and died fat like Atkins) off of my scam.

I looked at some pictures of myself from a few years ago, and am amazed at how different my body is. I have more arms, far more back, and far more leg mass then I did. I also think that back then I really did have a pot belly. Boxing and walking the Kelowna have really done wonders for my physique!

In other news - lunatic ranting rules! You thought my comments on Manson were incoherent?

stop eating when you're not hungry

That's the trick though, isn't it? If I knew how to do that, I wouldn't be where I am now...

Actually I didn't know that was an issue of yours. I do tend to eat whatever is there, and some other no-no-food-sins, but I work out so much that a) I get away with it, b) many of my hungers are for "legitimate reasons."

When I get hurt, my appetite dies way down with the lack of exercise. Still, I always have room for chocolate.

Actually, alot of diets work that way. Ever really want an apple? The problem is that too many people eat too much fast food and they think about that first before what their body really wants.

"Walking the Kelowna"... you do know that sometimes i've kinda dragged you along ;)

I was good. Haven't touched my chocolates yet!

Sometimes? I am afraid I owe the entire hiking thing to you, and now I'm hooked. I still think about how we progressed to this - it's neat!

I touched my chocolates.
That sounds...wrong. Way wrong.
