Someone in my office leaves a ton of chocholate around to take, and its very addictive. Treats are pleasant distractions from the mundane dehydrated painful existance of the average man, and subjecting oneself to a diet of dry toast and jam made with splenda is not gonna do it. Excess is the problem. I never thought I would ever gain any weight. I as 135 lbs until I was about 33, and I've always had a sweet tooth. Then gradually I grew to almost 170 (with a small paunch). It must be the excess treats.
