Weight control IS so very simple, “Eat less. Move more”.
Seemingly “simple” things, such as “bad” habits and “good” habits affect our weight.
But weight is also sooooo much more complicated than that. A person’s weight or a society’s weight is influenced by such “deep” subjects as family and culture and history and biology and politics and genetics and evolution and revolution and morality.
Even the definition of “good” and “bad”; or “right” and “wrong”; or “realistic” and “unrealistic” get examined when we talk about weight.
And to make the subject of weight control even more complicated, no two people are alike… There is NO exact formula that works for every single person. Even a question as simple as “Should I lose these 2 pounds?” seems sooooo simple… but if you have 100 people… you can come up with 200 answers to the question… and THEN every person has to decide for his or herself. But the question also has an answer as simple as “yes” or “no”.
I love that about the subject. It is both VERY simple and VERY complicated. It really is as simple as “Eat Less. Move More”… and yet so much more complicated. It is just fascinating to me.
Writing a Book on Weight Control
My poor dear husband gets up every morning to find me pounding away on the key board on the subject of weight... weight going down, staying the same, going up...
(I'm usually on the Weight Watcher's maintenance board or Kathleen Daelemans' board dedicated to weight/health/recipes/etc.).
Every morning he asks, "You working on that book?"
He insists that I can write a book on weight gain, loss, and maintenance. I don't think so. I'm not sure that a bunch of obnoxiously long lists with links makes for a "book"... plus... I LOVE the links to other articles! It just doesn't work on paper!
At any rate, here is the closest thing to a "book" I'll probably ever produce.
Dedicated to my dh and ds... who have been with me thru thick and thin.

A lot of this is in Weight Watcher (WW) Speak... most of us know the language. 
I'm not a WW meeting leader. I am a plain old meeting member. This is not official WW info.
All of this is my (not so humble) opinion. Some of my opinions are generated in my own head... but I have relatively few original thoughts... and try to cite thoughts that are not my own.
Keep checking back... I'll try and add new thoughts as they come to me!
