Regular readers will know I’m quite fond of finding ways to live guilt free, hell I’ve even written a book about it. So it’s probably no surprise that the other day I found myself pondering … how can I eat cake guilt free? Actually, if I’m honest it wasn’t just a cake it was, one party pie, a cocktail size quiche, a small prawn roll, half a vegetarian wrap … and a small cake, okay a couple of small cakes, but I did draw a line at the cheese platter. It being within the first two weeks of January, my New Year’s Resolutions were already on shaky ground.

So was there a way to partake in this incredibly unhealthy indulgence without being consumed by guilt? After five hours of indulging I may have found a way ….
Much has been written about the correlation between food and exercise. By now we’ve had it drummed into us by doctors, personal trainers and even Biggest Loser contestants, that it’s a simple equation of, ensuring the amount of food that goes in is equal to, or less than, the expenditure going out … simple.
So it was that while being plied with a vast array of irresistible food in a box at The Hopman Cup, I hit upon a solution.

Where in the ‘energy in: energy out’ equation is it written that both sides of the equation have to be completed by the same person?
Sure ‘it’s implied’, I hear you say, but as any good lawyer will tell you … if it’s not written in the contract it’s not admissible.

And so it was that I thoroughly enjoyed my day out at The Hopman Cup, partaking in way too much fine food, while Venus Williams held up her end of the bargain.Thank you Venus, I owe you one.
If you have any other ideas about reducing guilt please send them through.
