good question - im forever trying to improve myself, no drink, cigs, weed and such and for the most part , im fine. But then after a  couple of days, im back on the slippery slope. Like there's an inner voice that i cant refuse.

angel on one side v the Devil on the other.

Me too. I stop drinking 3 weeks. No ice cream then I think whats left? Not much to have fun with. TV is boring. I read some books but a plain life is what monks do and they go off the rails even with training.

Or can you live a plain life and be happy?

Expand  

Easily & we do.

 

Then again wife & I enjoy our health to perform athletically in our hobbies

 

We started years ago to tighten & although we thought we were fine some tests in later years said more could be done. That is exactly what we did.

 

But truthfully it is not giving up it is realizing what works well for your body & once implemented the changes/rewards are so great you really miss nothing...long for nothing from the past

Agreed.

 

This is a game I used to play with my students- make a list of 3 things and choose the one that you could never live without. For example;

 

Cookies

Ice Cream

Cake

 

or

 

Pizza

Burgers

Pasta

I don’t do any of those things. Not that I cannot or refuse to do them ever. It’s just that they aren’t that important. You think life without them is “plain”?

Yes

I have no intention of giving up golf and sex. IMO golf is better, less expensive and I can play for longer.

Expand  

Do you mean you think golf is better than sex.

I know they are both about getting your balls out and into a hole! 555

You need to keep on working on yourself. This means you physically, mental and spiritual health as well as your relationships.

So just water, salt and meditation plus basic food.

Of the three, which would be the hardest to give up....
