A couple of years ago I had a wonderful paradigm-shifting, self-definition-changing moment that I have since wanted to share with you and thank you for. And now that I have finally joined the 21st century and gotten the internet, I can.

I had been watching CT for some time and had made many changes. One Saturday I was at a potluck BBQ to which I had brought a veggie-side. When I went to fix my plate, I was pleased to see that others had also chosen to bring healthy fare. I commented on it to a woman next to me, and she asked "are you on a diet?" And I said, "no, I just like to eat healthy."

At that moment I realized that for the first time in memory, I was not on a diet, or, worse yet, feeling guilty for not being on a diet. At that moment I realized that I will never diet again.

It's difficult to explain how I felt at that moment, but I have a feeling you and the others reading this might have some idea. For the first time I didn't feel like I needed to make excuses for my food choices, or explain the diet I am on. It was a remarkable moment of self-acceptance that I credit to the path that you helped me discover.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please know that as you do what you do, people like me are changing for the better.
