Things are going along. Still have an amazingly dry mouth and drinking water all day. I gave my body a break and skipped one day just to feel remotely normal. It didn't do too much in the sense of changing any eating pattern (I am still forcing three small sized meals a day) but I had a great sleep. That was two days ago, went back on monday morning. I have still stayed away from the scales and rely on the measure tape and photos from start day and then every seven days. I have lost about 7cm from my stomach. Stoked. Eating healthy, using portion control and exercising (within limits still recovering from surgery so limited to activities given by physic). I gave in to my sugar craving and had a can of coke and a small kit kat on Sunday. Was the sweetest, fizziest can of coke ever! hahaha. I actually didn't drink it all as it was too sweet. I am sticking to fruit when i want a sweet fix (grapes and apples) and this seems to be working ok. I have ice-cream in the freezer and feel better every time I look at it and walk away. To all my duramine buddies keep at it and focus on the long term goal. Persistence pays off.
