I look to you as the "superman" of self discipline. I have very weak self discipline muscles. What I read your post, I see some of the head talk that goes through my head every day. I think you are aware of this too, which is why you are giving yourself a couple more days to think about it. It is the familiar duel of the head vs. the heart mind talk. Your head tells you your heart isn't in it, but your heart is what is keeping you from breaking the feast. The head has very powerful strategies to get what it wants. I am reminded of this every time I try to go a day without eating sugar or when I am running.

When I am running and I feel tired, I can come up with the best reasons to stop. I use the body excuse all the time. I feel aches and pains and I think, "my body is telling me to stop", but is it? Or is it my head? I keep going and when I cross the finish line, I do not think about how I wished I quit 5 minutes early, but how pleased I am that I finished. If I had stopped, I would have repeatedly thought about how I could have of kept going.

I eat the SAD. I have fear of going raw but at the same time I can not help but wonder about those health benefits. So I am still drawn to this diet despite my fears. I see you as the man who can walk through burning coals. I have fear of fire, but watching you do it, it brings me a step closer to doing it myself. There are thousands of people who are watching you and hoping maybe one day they could do the same.

You are very inspiring, Steve. If you do decide to end this early, we will only see you as human with the same challenges we face in accomplishing our goals. We will just relate to you and support you even more.

Hey, even Superman has his Kryptonite.

Take Care,
Jenny
