Hello Valentine Survivor!

You're probably reeling from yesterday. Either it's the amount of chocolate you ate or you feel jilted. Or both. But take heart! (No pun intended.) We're going to navigate away from all that.

I will now give you an overview of the topics we'll be covering in this series.

No, scratch that. That sounds way too official. Girlfriend (boyfriend?) you need some help right now! So I'm gonna skip the table of contents, skip ahead and get right to it:

Chapter 7: The Mind Game

You know how to gain weight. You've been doing it for a long time and you're quite good at it. Congratulations! What an accomplishment! (And you thought you were a loser. Well, you're not!)

Now let's turn it around:

What if all that energy that you spend eating, thinking about eating, and sneaking around could be used in the reverse to lose weight?

Hmmm.... Exactly the same cunning, but in reverse.

Instead of, "How can I get first dibs on that pie?" or, "How can I squeeze in that last bite of cake?" it will be, "How can I avoid that desert table altogether?"

It's a fun game. Try it.
