I am curious to know if you think of your body as a "machine" so to speak and food as fuel? Do you track all your calories? Where/when does it cross over to obsession would you say?
I think that people who having the ability to see their bodies as machines have it right. The discipline is impressive. I just wonder if for some of them they can drive themselves nuts with it.

Hey Dapper, yes I think we are pretty much biological internal combustion engines. According to Gemme and Jennifer a couple of days back some days are more combustable than others.
I do track the heck out of pretty much everything and would guess that obsession set in about three years ago 10 minutes after I started. But then, I am a born analytic, not a creative.
It doesn't make me crazy, more like a hobby.
The analogies I use most with myself I think you specifically would enjoy. I liken it to finances. Balancing the accounts, ROI, dividend payments, and my current 'portfolio diversification'.
I test drove the ankle just a little this morning. Hmm, not so much. Guess I'll go check out yet another pool that is up for consideration.
