Well, what choice did I have, really? When one of the motivations for starting another diet is concern for the backs of the pole bearers lifting your coffin - then you are in a pretty desperate place. That is where I was at. That desperation and the diabetes diagnoses helped me find the motivation I needed. When you back is against the wall, it is time to fight or die. I wish it hadn't taken 30 years of destructive eating to find the right motivation. But I did find it eventually and I guess that is all that matters now.

In the fall of 2013, my daughter did a semester in the UK at the University of Nottingham. The UK standards for grading are much tougher than on this side of the Atlantic. An A is a nearly impossible to attain. Only the best of the best can get an A. So by UK standards, an A- is pretty darn good. So I guess I'm using UK grading standards on this.
