Between now and New Year's, I don't want to eat any sweets unless I'm in a situation with other people where it would be awkward not to.
So when is "now:? 11 months ago

“Now” was sometime earlier this week, either Monday, or, I suspect, Wednesday, although I was doing this on Tuesday. BUT tonight I totally failed it. I came home from a party, where I ate dessert already, and ate more pumpkin pie by myself. This is what I don’t want to do! So, now, “now” will be from 12/12. Or should I be such a perfectionist?!?

What is addiction? 11 months ago

I seem to be very susceptible to becoming addicted to solitaire card games as well as some other games (Mahjongg and Tetris) when I play on the computer. I love to have my laptop open on my lap and be doing something with it. Somehow when I’m playing games I can concentrate well and at the time it feels like I’m doing something really important. But – it can go on for hours and hours! Into the night! Which really wrecks me for my daily life! And when I finally can pull myself away, and go to bed, say around 3 or even close to 5 (like last night) – it all seems so foolish! I want to be free of this! Take it or leave it like I’ve learned to do with Freecell.
