    Scientifically, we are all mutations.  Our genetics continue to adapt
and evolve.  However, it is a loaded word, especially for us who Do Not Look
As Others Do.  I would feel aweful knowing that I had caused anyone to feel
as marginalized and isolated as I have.

    We have all been burned in the past by thermodynamic diets that see
starvation as the key to good health.  We should apply the same scepticism
to NeanderThin that we would to Jenny Craig.  I didn't think it would work,
but I am down 5 pounds since last Monday.  And that's just one incrememental
step out of so many.  I feel very good about myself.  When I do reach 200
lbs, I am going to have to do something to get my self-image in line with my
body.  (I still FEEL very fat. . . I am the ONLY one who does not see a
"dramatic difference" between us. {Between the 375 Karl McKinnon and the 270
