.....by way of clarification

by way of clarification i need to go back to the previous blog as christine has read into my statement that i wasn't going to eat ever again, as in "i am done with food" forever.
well clearly this is not the case! i need to eat! what i'm saying, essentially, is that i am done with over indulgence. it's a pathetic state of affairs when a 41 year old man can not keep his eating under control but lets himself eat until the point where he feels uncomfortable and ill.

i have a conversation with many friends and colleagues who are trying to lose weight. eat less, exercise more (while i feel there may be a bit more to it than this it's not a bad starting point). and if we really want to lose weight we would just do this and get on with it. but no we don't because food does not just feed us it sustains us emotionally. this is a problem for some of us. i wish i could be the sort of person who just eats to be fed. but i don't i eat for many many different reasons. probably mostly in an attempt to make me feel good and then i over eat and feel bad. this is not good.

anyway.... the above andy cap cartoon refers to jackie mordue, one time footballer for sunderland football club. the footballing mordue gene clearly passed me by!
