In my darker moments, I think they might be right. There is no point in pursuing what is right, only in trying to screw a little bit more out of the system. But I can’t imagine embracing that dystopian view of reality. 3/

I read a book called bright line eating. One of the things which really struck me about it was the observation that almost any diet can work but the real challenge is following it. So… whatever you choose, figure out how you’re going to hold yourself accountable and your support network. Good luck!

You call this keeping his feet to the fire? Because I would have called it a softball interview. Considering his 85 “plead the 5ths” during the Medicaid fraud investigation and all that.

Exercise because you will feel better in both body and mind. As a bonus, happy healthy people are usually more attractive, especially to other happy, healthy people. And also (on average, slightly) more likely to make healthy choices when it comes to relationships.
