I've thought hard about my psychological connections and I think I've managed to separate out the psychological from the legal, moral, and political.
I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.
I gave up so many things. It wasn't that I was out of control - it was just years of eating anything I wanted. I wouldn't eat a whole pizza, but if I wanted pizza two or three times a week, I didn't think to limit myself. So I just cut out all the stuff that I viewed as unhealthy.
