Health is Wealth - Food as currency



I spoke to my BFF today. She lives half way accross the world so we don't get to talk very often. When we do, we have a lot to catch up on.

We've both battled the bulge for decades, so we always update each other on what we weigh.

BFF has lost weight and so, of course, I asked her how she did it. She's been going to Weight Watchers - but that's not the magic bullet. She said that she has had a mental shift about food. In thinking about it as points, she has come to consider food in terms of currency. She has $23 to spend a day and, even if she has a piece of cake or something, that's just going into debt.

"The books," she told me, "have to balance at the end of the week."

I think she is a genius. But then, I've always thought that about her.
