I think we all want to improve our marketability to those we\'re attracted to, to those we\'re trying to seek employment through, those who we\'re trying to gain acceptance from, etc. Physical fitness, a sense of fashion/style, hygiene, grooming, teeth, etc are all things we CAN change for the better.
Sometimes our pursuit for an improvement in physical appearance is just as much competitive edge as it is pure vanity. In the world/society we live in, a great smile can be just as potent as a degree when impressing an employer, a girl, etc.
I\'m on a similar mission, albeit at a much slower pace. Most of this is due to finances, I have to take each mission one budget at a time.
As for the title of this thread...no, I don\'t think you\'re going too far, assuming of course, you aren\'t making yourself bankrupt in the process. If you strongly believe these steps will make you much happier, all the better.
