This is my fifth evening of being home from the hospital. A cardiac scare has forced me to carefully look at whether a) I'm going to stay in denial, b) I'm going to give up and accept that I'll die an early death or c) I'm going to try my best to do something about a healthier way of relating to food. I know that my answer is bound to be different on some nights but tonight I'm choosing a). I'm going to try to come up with a goal of a small lifestyle change that I feel I can do. Thanks to all of you for being here.

Wait a minute, I mean I chose c). I chose c) not a)! OK, so maybe a part of me really wants to stay in denial. In any case, for tonight, I CHOOSE c) !
