    Default I tried to drown myself the other day

    I took my dog for a walk on Sunday instead of going to the gym (she needs to lose weight, too). We walked 2.5 miles, of which about 1/3 I had to carry her, the lazy bum. When I got back, I fell into my chair and picked up my bottle of water and took 3 big swallows....

    O.M.G.

    Never again.

    No Regrets! Life is Good! Thank you Dr T! It's all up to me now and I can do it!

    Yes, forever!! Gulping sucks in air and fills your tummy too quickly.

    No gulping ever again...it will stretch out your sleeve. Sip, sip sip all day. At first you will have no coice but tiny sips, later you have to be conscious of it and not fall back into bad habits of gulping.
