Should I diet?

I don't think dieting, alone, is the key to inner happiness. Indeed, if it is, the next eleven months of this blog are going to be particularly tedious.



Before anyone begins a diet, they need to ask themselves "Why am I dieting?", and also "Why am I overweight now, and will dieting resolve this problem?". The Shangri-la diet solves the problem of my appetite, but doesn't appear to address problems of comfort eating.



I've just come across this article which says a lot about the relationship between food and happiness which I find rings true for me too. Read it, and think, before you proceed.
