My biggest concern is eating the left overs fast enough to get back to a normal diet next week.  

Selling the houses gets you there fast, but is little better than a crash diet and doesn't address the underlying issues.

I spit diet Coke on mine reading your post!

Needs to go on a diet.

As much as i hate to, if F4F doesn't call me tomarrow by noon i will go to my awesome bank- but still a bank and hope they will give me the credit I need to secure this place and begin participating in this amazing market, and no more rationing food by the 15th of the month while my wife Drs. hound her for higher protein in her diet.  

I've been on strict diet since August and have already lost close to 30 pounds and almost at my target weight.  

My portfolio (Portfolio 14) from Assetbuilder has international exposure so I don't have to worry about chasing the latest fad country.

Every older generation has found issue with the fads, fashion and musical choices of the youth, but this particular fad is somewhat obsene and offensive.

"The Real Secret of Success Choose Your Suffering.Everything you want in life; every goal you want to achieve; every dream you want to manifest: all comes with a price tag.Legitimate success in any endeavor requires that you pay upfront, in full and with your own sweat.There is no other way.To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that is right for you.Subsequently, you must live with the consequences of that decision.The moment you choose to not continue to pay the price of success, is the moment you choose to suffer the consequences of failure, which is, the WORST kind of suffering.The suffering cost of failure is ALWAYS higher than the suffering price of success.The cost and consequences of success in a job, relationship, career, or any area can cause a monumental amount of disruption and chaos in your life.Here are some examples of the suffering costs of failure:If you lack financial discipline, you will suffer the consequences of debt, harassing bill collectors and sleepless nights.If you do not manage your diet, you will suffer the cost of diabetes and poor fitting clothing.By not keeping your promises or honoring your commitments, you will suffer the loss of reputation and contaminated character.Sooner or later, each of us must choose to pay the price of success or pay the cost of failure.Sooner or later, you will come to the understanding that you MUST choose your suffering.The price of success is often more than people are willing to pay.

I'm so bad at buying into the hype and end up buying whatever people are selling whether it's the latest get rich quick scheme, diet fad or the newest blender!
