I have.........

I have just got three great books by Angela Ackerman, the Writers Guide Series, to help me in Lit and other writing endeavors.

Already putting them to good use :)

Take a look at "Gwynne's Grammar".


I have a pressing desire to go fishing; the weather's nice and I have the bait.
I'm off.
See y'all.
 
How to Loose Weight effectively. :)
That's easy: stop eating. ;)

Well, almost that easy. I have dropped a tremendous amount of weight and it's staying off. I follow the Physics Diet and the Chuck Taylor Diet.

* Physics Diet: If one expends more calories than one consumes, one drops weight.
* Chuck Taylor Diet: He was a fat schlub who realized he was fat because he ate too much. His solution: DON'T EAT TOO MUCH.

See, that's pretty simple.

The hard part is determination.

* The rule for making difficult changes like dropping weight or stopping smoking: Ya gotta really wanna or else ya ain't gonna.

There you have it. Decide that you don't like who/what you are; decide on a change; decide to stick with it. ANYONE can transform themselves. Ya just gotta really wanna.

That's where most people go wrong and end up gaining/loosing weight in an unhealthy manner.

Doctors/Dieticians/PT will never give an advice to stop eating. That rocketing in weight causes more harm than good.

What I'm going to suggest is something that involves gradual change in dieting and some habits to consider.

Of course, determination plays a key factor, but I'll discuss self motivation technique too.

I'm just trying a non-invasive method of doing that.

There is one method which I can attest really WORKS.
A cancer in the throat and a wrong set of instructions for liquid food can haelp you loose a lot of weight in a few weeks (in my own case it was about 3 stones in 4 weeks).
This is NOT recommended, though.


I have to say thank you TxRad.

Have you considered other participation threads such as the Chain Gang ?

? Is that supposed to be a flame?

If it is, I am posting in a forum, I am not submitting a dissertation.

No, I meant it as a serious suggestion.
Gwynne's Grammar is a very good and well-written little book.
He's incorporated chunks of Strunk, too.

I have also got to up my word power. Any tips would be gratefully accepted.

Welcome !
Read as much as you're able.
Practice with short paragraphs which, perhaps, might actually say more than the mere words.
Pick the style of genre you like, rather than the one with a reputation for readership.
