Just spotted - in the Daily Mail (p3 Sat 7th Jan) - if you prefer to lift a pen rather than weights, and choose typing over tap dancing you can be slimmer than your friends as long as you write for 15 minutes a day about topics that matter to you, and they don't.
The theory is if you write about things you value, you feel good about yourself and lose the urge to snack. Stanford University, USA and Rentford University College, Canada tested 2 groups of women. The lucky group wrote about their favourite things and lost 3.4lbs in four months. The control group wrote about inconsequentials and put on 2.7lbs in the same period. I bet group 2 were furious when they found out.
So only another 10 minutes and 45 seconds to go and I won't want that cup of bedtime hot chocolate.
Oh what the heck. Put the kettle on will you love?

Oh, if only that were true! (I mean, if only it worked!). They do have a point, though - I never want to snack after what I think is a successful writing session.
Biddy you're an inspiration. You've no time for writers bum! I'm going to take a leaf out of your book!
