Re: Oh, Lauray, u are still the same and Still around! :D :)) n/m

:) thanks... i don't know who is writing, but that was nice. Hoping I've made progress and hope to make more through fasting... and hope to post about a fast soon. Great to hear from you. Give us an update about your stuff!!! post or pm...

btw, getting this message is helping me stick with my recently-achieved diet goals too i hope... I have actually gotten away from a lotta foods that were just not ok with ME...

i should post about these diet achievements since they are integral to my fasting. And, through fasting, to healing my liver issue which it will be so helpful to have healed.

One term i have come across that i want to read more on is "hedonic eating." Lots of new dieting research uses this term/concept. It seems like it might be helpful though the microbial basis of the problem of food addiction is still not paid enough attention. I should write about this but the most important point is how fasting brings down overgrowth of microbial organisms in the intestinal system.... kills the bacteria

Anyway I'm hoping to become a success at last
