Here's a thought - let's say that I am a highly creative person (I would say I am but I don't like blowing my own trumpet) and my creativity is like a hunger that is there waiting to be fed. If this is the case, then the cravings for words must make me hungry all the time, almost like having two stomachs. (Okay I think I just liken myself to a cow!)
Then the lack of writing can explain why I have put on weight as I am trying to feed my creativity with food, not words! So maybe to help myself loose weight, I need to write more, i.e. writing keeps the hands from eating chocolates, crisps and all those items which are great to eat but not great for the hips.
I know this is a different take on diets but you have to give me credit for my originality in diet techniques!
Talking about hunger always makes me think of the following quote from the Nigerian author Ben Okri, taken from his book The Famished Road:
In the beginning there was a river. The river become a road and the road branched out to the whole world. And because the road was once a river, it was always hungry.
