But I say if it gets you into the pool for some exercise then it’s worth it (at least once in a while). I always feel much better if I’m a bit heavy but getting regular exercise than if I’m lighter but not active. And feeling good beats looking good most of the time.

It’s doubly funny: I was thinking about the principle of sunk cost while ratcheting up the tension on my stomach walls, and if I remember correctly, it was Janet who explained that principle to me and credited her knowing it to Porter.

That is funny. You do think like Porter sometimes. At a restaurant he will concentrate on the meat and other expensive things; I eat what I want, even if it includes the cheaper parts like bread and salad. Though I must admit he’s probably eating what he wants, too. 🙂
