...(the fear of the fear as they call it Good point.

I'm not as big as I once was, but starting at 261 I wasn't tiny, either. What my wife keeps pointing out is that when I do reach my goal of 185 I will have lost 30% of my body weight -- 23% in the last year.

I put dates on my goals to create a sense of urgency... which.... might be contributing to my own fear of the fear... hmmmmm.
