I'm going to disagree that raspberry and cheese croissant vs grapes and egg is not a big difference. I love the way a lot of those choices are either substitutions or portion control (you still get to have ice cream), and so it doesn't have to feel like deprivation, especially compared to what you're getting in return (yea for zipping up and down stairs!).

My doctor news is making me think I'll quit my job in February whether I've got something else lined up or not. Just asked my boyfriend what he'd think about having a girlfriend who did temporary gigs and worked night at weekend shifts at Target for the next six years! (Not that there's any guarantee I'd even get those things.)
