  3. I feel like this should be the list of things you should NOT do when you aren't eating because they'd all make me want to eat more.

    Hope everything goes well with the colonoscopy.

  4. You can be a very good Chinese person... we eat all the time... when we're making lunch, we're thinking about what to eat for dinner... it's insane.

  6. Hmmm... so you're a masochist torturing yourself when you can't eat? Interesting behaviour.

    I recognise some of these, now that I'm mid-way through my diet (44lbs in 10 weeks so far). I've had to take down all the loose recipes on my kitchen notice board and place my cookbooks on a higher shelf, and there are a slew of shows on tv that I'm recording for now and NOT watching!

    Drinking (water) lots helps, as does brushing my teeth (seems to take away cravings).

    Good luck with your C'scopy - hope it's not for anything serious. We can't have you blogging from Hospital again only a few months on from the last time.

    Nice new style to your page. Goodness, you change designs more often than I use my vacuum cleaner.
