You are doing really really well - I found that when I stopped Pepsi Max I lost more - 2/3lbs a day. Just water is better but sometimes you just nnnnnnnneeeeeeddddddddddd a coffee.
I dream everynight when fasting of being thin again and through fasting it really is reachable for me.
I have loved selling my bigger clothes and bringing down my small clothes from the attic and hanging them up to keep myself motivated.
I got the hot flashes too
I am day 2 of many short fasts to come and already completed.
