Thank you very much for your kind words Sailormoon.

I must tell you living in the bush without a fridge and cooking for yourself makes the personal choices for me real easy.

Now when in Sydney with the shops so close I reckon I could fall off the wagon real easy.

My father calls by..we chat.. he brings heaps of food.. and ice cream... I knocked off a tub of it in two days and ready for more....

But I reckon the looking in the mirror telling yourself you are losing weight still is the way to go... I did that and dont want icecream ...at the moment.

I like cooking for the dogs... but I keep them trim also.

Welcome to Icein Space for me Brethren.
Now you goto see the outcome you want not the one that may be reasonable to expect..

In the long term one would think that obesity will be bred out of the species... slim is in real terms more sure of long term survival and therefore I expect the fat gene will slowly disappear... in a 1000 years or so...

When population gets to a point where we need to be efficient the rations may only be dished out to ensure survival...

Again welcome and thank you for sharing your ideas with us here.

I must admitt working in the city is quite bad. I get really tempted on the way home to buy fast food so i can have a quick dinner. The only thing that stops me is that the queues are way too long.

Oh no, not the maccas. I agree with Andrew Denton "When they put the Maccas Logo on an AFL ball it was the first time it had been on something remotely edible"

Since I retired I have probably been more active than for the last 10 years (supervisor, mostly in front of a screen or behind a steering wheel) also my new lady has re-introduced me to more fruit and vegies than I've been used to eating in the past. I've put on a bit of weight, but its a healthy increase. Alex, you are very correct about thinking positively about yourself, definitely makes a difference.
Only way to eat ice cream is with Strawberries Yummmmmyyyyy

I haven't seen, or more appropriately 'heard' an ice cream van around the neighbourhood in yonks.

I have really fond memories of hot summer days, playing out in the street or a park, or over at a mate's place, and hearing that unmistakeable sound of a Mr Whippee van.

I'd join about two dozen other kids in chasing him down the street to get him to stop so I could get an ice cream. If I had enough money it was one with a flake. If I was really cashed up, it was flake+chopped nuts+hundreds and thousands.

I reckon we didn't get fat from eating ice cream because of how far we had to run to catch up to him
