How right you are. A good example of the either/or thinking that's 
led to so many diet failures for me -- either grimly complying with, 
or wantonly rejecting, dietary restrictions.

It will be an effort for me to turn that off, and let the non-S 
habits carry over in a natural way. I feel almost an obligation to 
revert to the above. But I intend to make the effort. 

Let me add how charming I found your website: A librarian! 
Cambridge, MA! The shovelglove! The open face sandwich for 
breakfast! The German thang! The literate writing! The 52 slides of 
an exercise called "no name"! I could go on and on, but will end 

with thanks,

Portia
