    I give in

    thanks rach, i was a bit afraid to stray outside of it too, lol, but what she said did make sense, in that, im not going to give up eating something that isnt in the "5g rule" for the rest of my life so there is no point giving them up for the time i am on zenical, because when i stop taking...

    kelly try a glass of warm water with half a squeezed lemon and a little cayenne pepper and a sweetner or a little sugar, works every time for me, you may need to drink it in morning and in the evening but usually 1 glass is enough to get things moving...... hope you feel better soon...
