Those were the days!

I've just had coffee with a friend, and it got me thinking about how dieting worked when we were teenagers.

It was a simple, four-step process:

1. I'm hungry
2. Have a black coffee and a cigarette
3. I'm not hungry anymore
4. Repeat steps 1-3 as often as required

The pounds would just fall off (kilos weren't invented then). Hmmm, I wonder where all my bad eating habits came from...
