i cannot thank all of you ENOUGH for your support. it makes me feel sooo much better (not like a big failure). flakychick, i understand the dizzy, disconnected feeling. that's how i felt today...at one point i almost fell (duh), so i figured i should get some kind of protein in my system. the laxative tea i drank this morning flushed the food RIGHT out of my system though...that was kind of unpleasant! i'm going to do this though...i'm determined now, and i know if i fall off that damn horse, it's OKAY. thanks again. :)
