I cannot convince myself to suffer hunger pains and call it 'living'..being cranky and agitated and dour is poor quality in favor of quantity of life too me. I am trying to add exercise and walking to be healthier, but I will not die hungry in exchange for more time spent being miserable.

Life is a one way trip, if someone enjoys calorie restriction, by all means do it...if not, try to find a moderation to assist you and good luck....but enjoy the ride because you only get one...
