I can empathize a bit with the medical side - for me, it was high blood pressure, and a video I watched on a surgery that was proposed to cure sleep apnea. I love bagels and pizza and pasta, but not as much as I love being alive and not being cut open.

While I am sorry to hear about the negatives, I am happy to hear about your switch to a healthier diet and the positive results.

I can also empathize with the sheer shock I have gone through looking at thousands of dollars worth of suits that are too large to be tailored down to fit me - thankfully I haven't had to have a similar breakup with my kilts.
