Great post cptmac. I forgot - drinking coke has helped me also. You gave him many great ideas. I just forced myself to eat times just as you have. I love pizza, cheeseburgers, etc (who doesn't !!) and I hate having to eat when it just won't go down. You must do what you have to do. I put on 10 pounds during the month Of Jan knowing I would need that extra weight later on. With three weeks to go, I have lost the ten pounds but I can afford to loose 5 more if that is the case.
