I am eating lighter - though I went out and the drink seemed (iced tea) to have artificial sweetener in it. Anyway, I had an order of onion rings but it wasn't much... I need to get more walking in and that will help - tomorrow to the doctor and then perhaps to get meds (they didn't fill them all) - my pants are tending to fall down so even though the weight is not dramatically lower it is getting there and I advise anyone on the artificial sweeteners use them up and quit them. Your appetite will decrease. Don't go and drink sugar soda as a substitute but you'll see you will start eating more sensibly when that toxic stuff is out of your system. Every day more and more of it is out of me and I feel much better w/o it...
