Cugat - I mentioned it already, but that Pollan article is excellent. :)

Thiru - Pardon my attitude, but that’s just an excuse! ;) As you keep drinking the water, the need to go to the bathroom often will go down.

Morgan - I’ll see if I can catch that show; however, just reading what some folks on a site said about the show, it does sound like something very scary to think about. I don’t eat that much, but to think that there are people who can eat that much just is hard to fathom.

Thanks for all of your comments :)

The title is "33,000 Calories A Day". I know that this doesn't pertain to you specifically, but once you've seen it you will have all the will power you need. Good luck.

Michael Pollan has many good books and articles about food, and this article wherein he says: Don't eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food (meaning, only eat what is clearly still food, not processed). <br/><br/>http://www.michaelpollan.com/article.php?id=87<br/><br/>Cugat<br/>http://vegetative.net/ Food is a tough issue to deal with, especially since we have so much.

It’s true: so much of it is how we think about it. If we change how we think, we can change how we feel and what we do.

I think this is an awesome approach to a real issue we have, especially with food.

I think it boils down to the complicated concepts of need and denial.

Great contribution!
