Mind over matter is what matters in my opinion.  I mean, anything anyone of us has ever set out to do in life started with a simple thought in our heads.  At which point we made a simple choice, or we had a poignant question(s) to ask, "Is this thought worth trying to make into a reality; is it worthy of time and effort; is it benificial or not?"  I 'think' in this matter, when it comes to Dietbet... the reality is that it is worthy of time and effort because its beneficial; investing in ones health is the ultimate payoff.  We loose the weight, we reduce the risk of health issues, we feel better about ourselves, we live longer, and we get paid to do it!  - Nuff said.
