How to avoid duplicated FETCH in T-SQL when using a cursor?

There's a good structure posted online by Chris Oldwood which does it quite elegantly:

DECLARE @done bit = 0 

WHILE (@done = 0)  
BEGIN 
  -- Get the next author.  
  FETCH NEXT FROM authors_cursor  
  INTO @au_id, @au_fname, @au_lname  

  IF (@@FETCH_STATUS <> 0) 
  BEGIN 
    SET @done = 1 
    CONTINUE 
  END 

  -- 
  -- stuff done here with inner cursor elided 
  -- 
END

This is what I've resorted to (oh the shame of it):

WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
    FETCH NEXT FROM C1 INTO
   @foo,
   @bar,
   @bufar,
   @fubar,
   @bah,
   @fu,
   @foobar,
   @another,
   @column,
   @in,
   @the,
   @long,
   @list,
   @of,
   @variables,
   @used,
   @to,
   @retrieve,
   @all,
   @values,
   @for,
   @conversion

    IF (@@FETCH_STATUS <> 0)
    BEGIN
        BREAK
    END

     -- Use the variables here
END

CLOSE C1
DEALLOCATE C1

You can see why I posted a question. I don't like how the control of flow is hidden in an if statement when it should be in the while.
