Thankfully today, my second day of dieting, has gone much better. Yesterday i had a couple attacks of diarrhea -- so sickening. Sorry if that's TMI. But today i've been stable and managing my hunger well so i feel more optimistic about the whole thing.

Raspberrytorte, you're not eating enough. 1200 calories is the minimum and you're no where near that. Do you have anorexia? If not i think you're headed for it. I think it would be good for you to get some counselling.
