Several time in recent weeks I have heard a few disturbing comments.

As I struggle, I try to find answers to my faults.

So comments:
It's easier to quit smoking than to give up unhealthy foods. You never have to smoke again but you have to eat.

This is the one I am going to address today.

Both are hard. I have tried doing both.

Both are addictions.

But if you were being held hostage and your keeper had a gun to your head told you; "If you eat that cracker, cupcake, cookie, I will shoot and kill you. I am pretty sure you would resist.

If you are overweight and not resisting, you are saying it doesn't matter if I kill myself.

If you think you are hungry, eat an apple. If an apple doesn't sound good, you are not hungry.
