They say 'Nothing succeeds like success'. Well here is a double whammy for me. I quit smoking sometime in 2001. I wrote the story on my blog some 3 days back. And last 2 days I have not touched the sweet dish at lunch. I saw the gulab jamoons on Monday and the pastries yesterday. I preferred to look the other way. Again just like my quit smoking story I made it look so simple. And by putting up this note in front of everybody I am declaring that I have overcome my weakness for sweets.Henceforth I'll not touch sweets at the lunch table. For courtesy's sake I'll have a small piece of birthday cakes. At lunch and dinner invitations at others' places I'll have a tiny bit - again for courtesy. At home - small bits not more than twice a week.(You know I have a sweet tooth)So what am I trying to prove? Nothing. I am just trying to limit my calorie intake.
Why is this global announcement? My way of trying to put controls on myself and as an offshoot - if anyone gets influenced by it.
What is the guarantee? I myself will come back with the violation story as and when it happens. Remember I am looking for topics to write on. So it'll be a nice story narrating the circumstances under which I had to give up - the mental tug o'war.
Luck is on my side. For once I am not asking for your wishes. Foot in mouth again? I am lovin it.
God Bless.

The next war should be lodged on afternoon snacks - stay away from samosas and matris .. eat a fruit instead .. does wonders to the calorie intake
