[QUOTE="gorillamark, post: 596700, member: 103445"] All that starch and fat. For you (and me) it's the starch in the crisps that's the kicker. It can be very difficult not to eat the whole box of/packet of whatever. But if you stop and think about it. What you're gorging on is very low quality stuff. Kick up the quality a bit. You know those really good quality chocolates that you buy singly? Put one in your mouth and let it dissolve sloooooooooooowly - if it was a piece of music it'd be a rhapsody on a theme of chocolate. You've been conditioned over the years to eat all sorts of stuff like oh I don't know cadbury's creme eggs? We all have been conditioned we're bombarded day in day out with advertising urging us to eat more and more ever more and all of it has had the bejesus processed out it and God only knows what added into it. But it's quick fix low quality stuff. Get fussy and go gourmet. You'll enjoy it way more and you can be smug in the knowledge that not only are you enjoying life an awful lot more but you're also no longer subsidising people whose only interest in you is how much money they can entice you into spending.
