Cool. There's a great article in O magazine (Jan issue) about why it is so hard to change our habits. It's a great read and really helps you let up on yourself. We're hard-wired to be smoking, drinking, binging fiends! Well, sort of. Basically it comes down to the fact that you won't do anything unless there is an immediate reward in it. So you have to figure out how to reward yourself for "good" behavior. Also that scientists are pretty near finding that food does act like a drug in your brain. So the compulsion to eat is much like the compulsion to shoot up. I highly recommend this article to everyone!
