Everybody knows, deep in their hearts, what they need to do to change their life. Like, if you are someone who is falling on the depressed / anxious end of the spectrum, who is perhaps not earning as much as you’d like, nor working in the job you especially want,

I can cure you of your eating woes on the spot. I can’t make you thin on the spot, but I can make you indifferent towards food on the spot and then it’s only a matter of time before you’re thin. The problem is contained within your mind, see. You

I must have signed up to Weight Watchers ooh, about half a dozen times in my youth. One time I even managed to hit my target weight. It’s not like WW doesn’t work you see, it does – if your goal is losing weight. If your goal is more grand,

Leave this little lot to marinate: Garlic that’s been mashed up with salt Red wine vinegar Whole grain mustard Then fry a panfull of greens in a little soy sauce. At the end throw in your vinegary, mustardy taste bomb and a chopped up tomato. It’s tastier than rice, goes
