I came across this poem today....
The Vulture
The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very, rarely feels
As well as you and I.
His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!
Hilaire Belloc

Hysterical! What a mental picture that creates - now if I can just remember the poem when I want to eat between meals!

Quitting is not an option...
If you start to slip, tie a knot and hang on!
Remember that good enough is... good enough.
Strive for progress, not perfection!

Thanks for posting this, David. It's a great (or at least greatly relevant) little poem.
There was another discussion about it a while ago:

When I do get around to following through on that last action item, I'll make sure to link to both these threads.
