While you may be in danger of overeating as a result of the laudable F service on AA, I can assure you, no such danger exists on Delta.
Thanks - that's the kind of diet humor I like.

That's the issue - I travel every week and sometimes find it hard to get back on track.
What I need is a swift kick to get used to the idea and that means being super strict about it.
Similar to smoking, I smoked for over 15 years and when it was time to quit, trying to reduce the number of cigs did not help - tried the patch for a couple days and that was miserable. What helped was quitting cold turkey. Worked for a year and then I thought I could have the odd ciggie - bad idea - so I went cold turkey again and it's been almost a year since a cig.
For now, I need to eliminate all aspects that could tempt me which is why I'm not requesting upgrades. Once I get avoid the extras and make this a good habit, I'll be okay. Another incentive is my upgrades require upgrade stickers which I can save for a trip to Hawaii while I wait to qualify for EXP.
