Gail & 2berners, I wish I had your self-confidence. The opinions of strangers don't matter in the least (I should mention that I drive an art car so I'm used to people assuming I'm a kook), but does bother me when friends or people I know make negative comments or act like I must be gorging myself on bacon and pork rinds all day. I wish I didn't care, but I do. I have to admit though, I've been very lucky not to get much of that. Most people have been very supportive, or at least willing to listen to my point of view.
