Dieting word of the year

Scanning the gazillion or so articles on dieting that have appeared in the last few weeks, I have noticed the appearance of a new fad word: Disinhibition.

Whilst you make think that "disinhibition" could refer to lying down drunk in the street about a block from your house, you would be wrong. Well, sort of wrong.

Disinhibition is the loss of ability to control one's impulses. Which for purposes of this blog translates as the inability to put down the bag of chips, or to not purchase the chips, or to go back to the cupboard to get more chips. Or to purchase dip.

I must work on my disinhibition issues.
