Day 17: down 5 lbs.

It's harder and harder to come up with anything new to say. Most days are the same: my appetite is lower, but not dramatically so. I don't have a problem tolerating the oil. My weight takes two steps down and one step up. That's about it.

I'm still waiting for the day when my hunger all but disappears, but if it doesn't, I'd still say this is working for me. It's still early, though, so I'll keep these boring updates up.

One slightly new thing: I read on the Seth Roberts forums about a way to take oil: put it in a cup of water. I don't get that mildly disgusting mouthful-of-oil feeling, and I've been following the oil up with water anyway. I find it to be a better technique.
