That was the way it was with me, there's one food that is your best
bud and how can you ignore it like that?<G>

If you drink with friends, switch to alternating a beer with a glass
of water or seltzer, so you cut your comsumption by half. That
helps. If you drink alone, don't bring any beer into the house.
And if you do bring it home, buy the midget ones, 8 oz or something
like that.

My family and I love potato chips. I'm a chipoholic. For me, I had
to get the individual sized bags or my family wouldn't get any. They
take them in their lunch bags. I keep them in a place that's too
inaccessible in the morning for me to remember to grab them.
