You're welcome, Eno! 
I like this part in particular:
Quote:
You may know the apocryphal story about Michaelangelo that I often share with my patients. The sculptor was said to be in conversation with an admirer. "How do you sculpt something as transcendent as The David out of a plain block of marble?", the admirer asked. Michaelangelo replied, "I don't sculpt it at all. The David is already in the marble. I just take away what's around him."
In America, we spend too much time trying to shrink ourselves and too little time trying to figure out what's inside the marble block that is us. Once we have a clear idea of what we want to release, we can work toward creating a masterpiece. Weight and health may be a part of that, but without the greater vision, they are unlikely to bring satisfaction or lasting result.
