If you like it - good, if you do not like it - sour grapes.

Chris Powell does the extreme weight loss show on tv. This challenge is just a jump start for a live long change. I wrote to him before I started. At first one of his assistants emailed me back. Last night I got an email from Chris Powell himself. He told me to hang in there, I can do it one meal, one day, one exercise at a time. He believes in me and is here for me. I was astounded, this man is so busy, but he read my story. He cared enough to write to me himself. Knowing his story and watching the transformations of the people he works with, I have great respect for him and the work he does. He believes weight loss isn't really about the diet and exercise, but about the changes you make in your mind and believing you are worth it. I could go on and on. I don't think there will be any sour grapes. But thank you for your advice.
