   Weight Loss Discipline (Excerpt)

   Weight Loss and Discipline
   
   Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off? We have
   all heard that weight loss is just a matter of taking in
   less calories than we expend. That certainly sounds very
   logical, but is it really that simple?
   
   For example, I had an intention of only eating fruits and
   vegetables for a day or two, to counteract the recent 'junk'
   food I had been enjoying. This was a solid plan that
   practically guaranteed a decrease in caloric intake.
   However, a solid plan doesn't always mean an easy execution.
   
   
   I figured I would be relatively safe making a trip to the
   health food store. So my guard against high fat foods was
   down. When I got to the store, my sensibilities were
   assailed by a well meaning clerk hawking some freshly made
   corn beef and cabbage. I could hardly resist the
   temptation. And that wasn't the end of it. Once my armour
   was breached, the temptation of tasty, 'health oriented'
   cookie samples fought for my attention.
