A fat paunch never breeds fine thoughts. Saint Jerome in the 4th century. I’d like to offer some insights into dieting that are based on my experience: on perceptions and habits. Three Perceptions 1. find your sense of motivation – doesn’t matter what it is. 2. see a doctor: degree of obesity; physical ailments; strategies…
If you’re squeamish, don’t look here. But the picture you are about to see is the inside of my arm! The doctor showed me the xray today. Six pins, one wire, and one rivet so now I looked like Meccano man. Advantage? No cast, easier movement, and faster healing time.
