Does anyone else find this totally stupid?

CNN.com - Mouth device helps dieters take small bites - May 19, 2004

Look people, just take smaller bites. Seriously. If that's what you think will do it for you to lose weight.

The thing is, controlling your weight/what you eat is not easy. Not when you've got years of bad habits to overcome. There is no easy way out. Start being honest with yourself, and be compassionate when you fail to make good decisions, but do some serious goal setting to try to overcome those lapses.

I, just as much as anyone else, wish there was an easier way to erase years of poor eating/exercise choices... but there isn't. You just have to stop. Stop eating junk. Get up and move! Make better choices.

And that money that you would have spent on what basically is a muzzle of sorts? Spend it on the gym. Or donate it to a good cause. Or put it away in a "reward for myself" slush fund.
