        Thanks for your reply, Todd.  I probably will go ahead and start the diet
with the best intentions of being as compliant as I "possibly" can.  I'm
sure that if I start to see some great results (e.g. weight loss,
controlled blood pressure without medications) I'll be motivated to get
even closer to 100%.
        Now, about the beer . . .  that reminds me of another possible
non-compliance area I may have!  How does this group feel about giving up
the social drinking?  Any regrets?  Or do some of you just "cheat"
sometimes and indulge at the occasional social function?
        Thanks again for the suggestions.
