: OK. Let me tell you exactly where I
: am at. I do eat breakfast with
: protein, three meals a day (and
: some snacks, as I need to gain
: weight) with protein, browns
: instead of whites, and no sugar.
: and a potato every night before
: bed (3 hours after dinner.) My
: weak areas are: finding it hard to
: count my protein grams, and eating
: at the same hours every day. I do
: drink a lot of water. I was
: feeling steady and good when I
: decided to give up the gum with
: xylitol. I'm vegetarian, though,
: so maybe I really just haven't
: been getting enough protein. I
: hate charts and gram- counting,
: etc, but maybe it will be
: necessary.

: Anyway, this is day 4 off the gum,
: and I really don't feel so bad!

: Any suggestions for me?

: E-beth
