The pictures really puts it into perspective. I just started five days ago, by completely giving up sugar, cold turkey. I probably drank close to 1000 calories a day in liquid form - Your body doesn't get full from liquids, so there was no cut-off receptors to tell me when to stop. I've been reading everything I can on the subject, and your story is motivating. It CAN be done! I have NEVER been below 20% body fat, and for ONCE in my life, I'd like to know what it's like. Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck in your progess. Great job! The pictures really puts it into perspective. I just started five days ago, by completely giving up sugar, cold turkey.

]]> Comment on The Rise of the Pragmatic Agnostic by abclarke http://blog.abclarke.com/2007/08/22/the-rise-of-the-pragmatic-agnostic/#comment-1397 abclarke Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:42:54 +0000 http://abclarke.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/the-rise-of-the-pragmatic-agnostic/#comment-1397 Perhaps the right answer is a balance of idealism and pragmatism? Idealism on its own, without the balance of pragmatism, leads towards great evils (Fascism being a great example). But unguided pragmatism leads towards lives lacking in principle and often times evils (though lesser) such as infidelity, theiving and murder. For example, without the ideal of external life and/or nirvana and/or heaven (etc.), why would a pragmatic person not steal or cheat a neighbor when the chances of being caught are 0%? I do believe that both principles are required, in balance, to lead a healthy life. My larger point is that Idealism gets the headlines, but pragmatism does most of the work.
