Yeah, I know what you mean about affecting your way of living.
Sometimes things sound pretty good, and the thought of the changes in
lifestyle seem like a relatively minor deal. Then, however, when they
are actually happening, its a very BIG deal.

The next stage is worse, so watch out for it. Slowly (or not so
slowly), the 'temporary lifestyle' you accepted, the one that impinged
on your old way of life, grows to become your new lifestyle, and it
gets harder and harder to get back to the old ways. It sneaks up on you
very cleverly, like that few extra pounds that subtley becomes part of
you rather than some temporary thing hanging off of you.

My advice, from someone who has been led far far away from his 'way of
life'.....don't stray, don't delay. Get your ass back in the center of
how you want to live as soon as you can. You're already living on the
wrong side of the danger zone, and the changes are taking place...
