Talk about coincidence! I posted about my recent improvement in a thread just up from this one, about 8 hours before your post. :-)
I think Glydin (once again) has some terrific insights here. Reactions to others' success stories can be pretty complex.
I'm still reluctant to commit to a story of quote-unquote “success”. All of it is partial, compromised, multi-sided, and hooked to trade-offs, and it's possibly reversible and temporary. (All of which, I should add, applies to “failure” as well.) I don't want to stick my neck out too far. If I start declining again, will I be like a temperance preacher who falls off the wagon?
Good thread.
