Hi Dr. Graham,

Thanks for your support. It's much appreciated.

As far as going cold turkey - - interesting what you say.

I would imagine that most people coming to 811 are in pretty bad shape and going cold turkey may be the only real option.

I also think it depends on your goals.

I am 56 y/o female - - 5' 4' and 110lb very active, athletic and no serious health woes. My main health issue is digestion but it's not an acute problem. If it were, I'd probably be motivated to go cold turkey too.

My goal generally is to be able to live each moment fully -- making healthy decisions for myself in each moment. In other words living consiously and making decisions based on what is happening in that moment. Living by an arbitrary set of outside rules does not jive with conscious living since our reality is changing in every moment.

On the other hand I am highly disciplined but my discipline comes from inside.

*******************************************
In spite of the above with the help of this list I am getting closer to 811 - and my goal is not to do it perfectly and get some sort of prize. My goal is to experience optimal health for myself in this lifetime. As I cut back on fat - I'm hoping to reap the benefits and that will motivate me to stick with it.

thanks again for your generosity.

Dee
