So Governor Chris Christie had stomach surgery – the weight loss kind. No surprise there. The poor man has been vilified for his weight — which has nothing to do with his abilities.

40 Reasons to Stop Dieting Before You Start
Yesterday was International NO DIET day. I read some astonishingly heartfelt pieces about why people don’t diet or have stopped dieting.
