The Way of the Solitary Cyclist, #7

Measure twice so you only have to cut once
Traditional saying

And as true now as its ever been.

It's more than measuring. Proofread your work before giving a report to your superior...if he/she sends it back to you for corrections, you'll have to make those corrections and also deal with suspicion on the part of the boss that they'll always have to check your work. Not a good position to be in.

As for weight loss/maintenance - extrapolate it. You only want to have to lose weight once. You then want to maintain that weight! Yo Yo dieting is worse for your health than being overweight!

If you've successfully lost a lot of weight in the past, only to see yourself gain it back, the problem was that you stopped what was working for you and went back to your old ways. You CAN NOT do that. Once you adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle (and all that requires is portion control and a bicycle), you must do it for the rest of your life. That should not be a hardship, it should be a source of joy.
