Cool! Looks like the conclusion so far is that some people thrive on sudden, big, change and others on little incremental ones... maybe I should've guessed that one!
Bodhi, maybe you need to try making one small change at a time till you get where you want to be? Sounds like Marco Polo's experience echos yours (I know just what you mean about that image of the big mac -- I dream about cakes and cookies and chocolate when I get too strict about my diet!)
HatsOff2Halford, I'm very impressed! I'm guessing you were inspired by Steve?
Michelle, it's great you've found a deeper appreciation for food now.
Quin, well done on the Facebook-fast! I quit playing an online RPG that I'd been into for years last Lent (most of my friends had stopped playing, so I was only sticking around out of habit.) It's amazing how much more productive I've been since...
Thanks for the responses, anyway, all of you.
Best,
Ali
