Well, I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow for iCloud. First, the Apple site is so messed up that I inadvertantly had signed up for the Tuesday workshop. Now, I have to go to the dentist because I lost a filling, so I won't be going to the iCloud workshop till tomorrow after work. :o

The Thin Commandments (from WebMD.com)

The Commandments in a Nutshell

1. Strategy is stronger than willpower.
2. Think historically, not just "calorically."
3. The problem may be in the food, not you.
4. Structure gives control.
5. Separate mood from food.
6. Take control of your favorite foods.
7. Slips should teach you, not defeat you.
8. Stop feeling deprived.
9. Treat your calories like dollars.
10. Losing weight is half the job. Keeping if off is the other half.

My point of view: Commandment Number 1 is indespensible. But get the book used. Under $5 from Amazon.
