here I am doing some reading and only drinking coffee and can probably do it to noon if I so desire. Was expecting to giving in to incessant hunger pains, but that just hasn't been the case. A couple weeks ago went 21 hours w/o eating until the end of a fairly level 9 mile hike, I was amazed. Carried a sandwich with me, but just didn't really need it, course once I took one bite of it back at the car it was gone but could believe the idea that you basically had eaten, just that you had pulled it from fat stores...

...anyway only lost ~ 3 pounds so far, but that's good for me my weight doesn't budge otherwise, see how this goes, again, not suffering at all so not a problem of having to give up.
