I too remember when I was at primary school being told to eat everything on my plate. It's the reason I can't eat cheese to this day, unless it's grilled. Best Wishes, Ray Hi Ann, What an interesting post!

When I don't play very much my weight can go up by around a stone, which has the knock on effect on how far I hit my driver. When I'm heavier I hit the ball around 30 yards further than normal. No this gets me excited and I play more. (I'm excited by long driving...lol) When I play more, I lose the weight and then I don't hit the ball as far. So I'm healthier but my game suffers...or at least I don't drive as many par 4's... ...it's an interesting balance, my love for the game should be insignificant compared to me having a healthy body, but somehow it's not.. Maybe I need a light shone on me when I'm not playing golf. cheers Steve <em>Hi Steve, Thats an interesting dilemma. I have to confess I know nothing about golf. I presume professional golfers spend a lot of time in the gym building up muscle and strength to deal with that exact problem. If golf is a hobby then for most people it would be either the golf course or the gym and not both. Why cant life just be simple? Good luck with the game Best wishes Ann Hi Ann

Hi Steve,
Thats an interesting dilemma. I have to confess I know nothing about golf. I presume professional golfers spend a lot of time in the gym building up muscle and strength to deal with that exact problem. If golf is a hobby then for most people it would be either the golf course or the gym and not both. Why cant life just be simple?
Good luck with the game
Best wishes
Ann

I guess we would all be hyper sensitive if made to eat something we didn't like. I know that I would already be in a bad mood and therefore far more susceptible to exterior discomfort. Enjoy the journey. Mandy <em>Hi Mandy I know what you are saying but I remember as a child being made to eat the food that was provided even if I didn't like it. There was no other choice, eat or be hungry. Today there is much more choice and convenience but a lot more obesity. Best Wishes Ann </em> Hi Ann,

Hi Mandy
I know what you are saying but I remember as a child being made to eat the food that was provided even if I didn’t like it. There was no other choice, eat or be hungry. Today there is much more choice and convenience but a lot more obesity.

Best Wishes
Ann

Sober I wouldn't touch them. :-) On the other hand, I think that's the advantage humans have. We are capable of abstract thought, so we don't HAVE to follow our biological predisposition. Knowing my chocolate weakness when drunk, I simply make sure there is no chocolate in the house. I can make this decision when sober. :-) John <em>Hi John I am afraid chocolate and red wine are my indulgences. I try to be good but I dont always succeed. sigh!!
