Thanks!
Now that I've re-read my post it kind of seems like I'm worried about the weight aspect of this. However, that was kind of more for background. I'm def not one to freak out over some sweetner in the red coating. I'm mostly worried that the advil is slowly killing my kidneys (i think it does that regardless of what I eat but I'm not sure how this diet in particular impacts that). I know that this diet puts additional stress on the system and am a little cautious about introducing new chemicals into my body (I tend to only take advil on a rare occasion).
I'll consider your advice about about the weighing every day thing! I just bought a scale, so it is fun! I'll maybe try not using it over the next week. I'm a data point person. I like lots of data.
As soon as a new toy enters my life, however, I'm sure I'll promtply forget about the scale.
