re #271 no rcurl, I didn't say anything about intentionally shortening 
one's life.  What I'm saying is that life isn't a race and there is no 
finish line and, unless you believe in an afterlife which I do not, 
there is no glory at the end.  The only glory as I see it is simply 
BEING in the game.  If you can't win and you can't lose, and you are 
going to die at the end anyway, you may as well just enjoy the 
moments.  Because those moments are all you have.

Slynne is choosing not to live her life dieting and pursuing some goal 
or end that may never come, and won't matter in the long run even if 
it does come.  She is choosing to BE in her moment and enjoy being in 
that moment in and of and for itself.
