Feelings before and after: It wasn't worth it! Future strategy: try harder to refrain - it isn't forever! Was it "spring break" on your weight loss program last week? Maybe next week?

Your wishful resolutions have failed and the scale doesn’t lie. Your weight is still a risk to your health, your self-image, your vigor, and with all the new insurance deductibles, your wallet. Are you ready to take action? You’ve read all the latest fad diet books and articles. You have seen the celebrity success stories day and night, but you want your OWN success story. You want to live it, not read about it on some tabloid magazine cover. You want to fit in clothes you’re proud to wear. You want significant weight loss, and you want it [...]

It was First You Have to Row a Little Boat by Richard Bode. In it, he describes himself as a youth eager to sail big boats.
