    Sounds like sound advice.

    I'm trying to incorporate a healthier lifestyle. My plan is to read this link http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/472 every day. Whereas I don't need to lose 200 pounds I have found as I've gotten older whatever amount seeking to shed takes commitment and effort. May the force be with all with the finish line success that lasts a healthy lifetime.

    Very subtle!

    At first, you want us to fade away altogether?
    A double entendre lives there in the weight.
    When all the burdens have you tied by tether,
    we compensate by altering sight to elevate.

    Novel method!

    If I lose 200 pounds

    then I will evaporate, for I weigh far less!

    But: I know some burdens are about that heavy ... And may we all roll away that heavy stone that blocks us from life.

    Just some margin notes, beloved One.

    Love your positive thinking!

      Me too!

      Either I lose 90 kilos, or he loses 70, we will both be lighter after this.

    I see that 200 pounds
    walking away on its own
    two feet...
    or vice versa, walking,
    flying away from it...

      That is right, M-C. The end is known at the beginning, if we pay attention.

        Not sure how much 'about'

        85kg is in pounds! But now after lunch, it most probably is the same! Oh, I forgot too add, I only managed half a brandy ball; my chef-neighbour sure knows how to size these! Love to you, as well as that which seems to have taken flight! Frans
