Thanks Gloria. My band helped me out of it. It clogged up in public at a nice, japanese restaurant and brought me back into the light on Friday.

It reminded me again yesterday at home that I need to slow down on chewing.

It's weird, but I gained a pound last week and am down 5 in the past five days.

funfairy, I am getting my first fill on April 21 but as I just stated, restriction has already somewhat started.

I don't plan on ever being totally "cured".

I think it will be just as hard as trying to break my smoking addiction. I quit smoking for 5 years a while back and that craving was always there. I quit again 6 months ago today and have cheated a little. A full pack last weekend but only one cigarette since.

Through it all I am keeping a good attitude and not lambasting myself. That is the secret to being successful at anything.
