Ah, sweet catherine, when the food is so boring hunger ceases to
happen. The stomach says, "oh, more soy milk? more beef with no
seasoning, no spice, no ketchup, mustard, nothing, yet another damn
plain hamburger? I'd rather not. " And the stomach sends a message to
the brain: News Flash: Not Hungry! After a while, you just start eating
less. Hunger starves to death, or least realizes it is getting no
satisfaction.

Quitting smoking allows me to go to baseball games and 2 BSN concerts
and buy the actual DVDs and cds and books and all kinds of things that I
hadn't been able to afford... all the money I spend on things that I
either burned away, exhaled away, or defecated away... kind of silly to
spend money on post-consumption waste products!

Oh, yes you are cute! As self-absorbed as I am, I will never achieve
cute! That is reserved for the good and caring and warm-hearted people
like you!
