Speaking as someone who's gone from fat to fit partway back to fat, it's a struggle, so count yourself lucky! @Gates, @Bubelah: I like the binge/purge analogy - you've both got an interesting take on the "ugly side" of dieting as it applies to both food and money. @SD, @ Kyle: Funny :) we can all share some diet pizza (how I wish there was such a thing - that tasted decent) in the van down by the river - just thinking about Farley always makes me chuckle...

Quoted for truth. In fact, looking around, there's definitely a lot of overlap. The same mentality drives being overweight and being poor (in debt). Long-term weight gain, like most debt is typically the cumulative effect of the decision to "spend" slightly more than you earn/burn. People who are inherently efficient at "spending less" are typically very good at "eating less", which leads to easy weight management. Dieters often suffer the same binge / purge habits as debtors, who will rebound back and forth between paying off chunks of the debt and adding chunks to it. <b>Blueblah</b> really captures this failing. Long-term, I'm on some form of the "calorie-diet", but I believe that the important key for dieters and debtors is to live a fulfilled existence within your means. If you're in debt or overweight, you will have to suffer for your transgressions as you work back towards health. But if the money you have doesn't make you happy, then no amount of diet/debt will improve your life and you'll be stuck on the rollercoaster until you figure out why you're unhappy. saving money is basically like dieting.

For example, I do like reading quite a bit, but these days I buy a book only if it is one that is a book I will use for reference. All others I borrow from the library and return them when I am done, and I am very happy that they are not taking up space in my apartment! I just focus on the goals -- building savings, paying off debt -- and that pretty much helps me to stay on track. I found your analogy of the diet very interesting. I have not had a hunger response since I was three years of age, and I am absolutely amazed at how much people eat and how they cannot seem to lose weight. I just keep an eye on the clock and eat small amounts of food here and there -- enough to keep me going, with enough variety to cover my nutritional needs. I really feel sorry for people who are trying to lose weight, there seems to be so much more than just food involved -- emotions, influence of friends and family, etc. -- that would seem to make it difficult to lose weight. There are so many different diets out there, and none of them seem to work, other than a vegan diet, to sustain weight loss over the long term. I suppose the same could be said of financial planning, but a lot of people have mentioned how they could not succeed at eliminating debt until they heard a radio show or read a book by Dave Ramsey I am most like the Mediterranean diet, but I have found ways to cut back in area that I like as well.
