Have You Ecomodded *Yourself*?

I know this is a delicate subject, but as you've been ecomodding your ride, have you forgotten to ecomod yourself? Sure, your "spare tire" isn't rotating mass (I hope!), but it still contributes to the efficiency of your vehicle. Lower food consumption helps the environment just as lowered fuel consumption does.

At 165 lbs nowadays, I'm 40 lbs heavier than I was in college; I don't realistically expect to get back down to college weight, but 20 lbs is reachable. I've reduced my beer consumption (mostly high-gravity "snooty" beers) and have started working out and running again.

What are your plans to ecomod yourself? Have you given it any thought?
