You need to resist that morning bacon, that mid morning snack, that cake in the office. She is one of those lucky people that has always known moderation and, so it is easy for her to offer me bacon and say a little is okay. However, it is like Cherie Blair offering a rocket launcher to Tony Blair, you just know there is going to be carnage and exploding hearts. One should just resist the bacon, don't tempt the glutton. I will have beef curry for dinner and that is my indulgence. Beef curry AND bacon is borderline City of London banker after deregulation. It's never going to end well.


Good for you, Miles. Stick to your guns. You're right about some people being good at moderation while others are not. Knowing yourself is the key to self control and improvement. Moderation at Christmas time is not easy, so kudos for sticking to your regime.
