In all the reflection and analysis of Week #16 of the Liquid Diet saga, I have to admit a bit of wit that brought me way too much joy was, "To slightly misquote the late Richard Nixon, I’m not a cook." Hurrah for your discipline! Thanks for the fine storytelling!
It's interesting - I also deal with overeating issues, and use a diet technique from my daughter. Not to blow yours, but hers is: eat (xx) calories/day. For me, it's 1800. However, when I start(ed) my diet, 2 years ago, I began at 2800 so I would not feel deprived. Then, I went to 2200 and now 1800. It's amazing how few meals I get to eat - mainly one large meal around lunch time, and then some veggies and fruits for the rest of the day. But, my mind focuses on many other things these days besides food! Thanks for the inspiration, Josh!
Oh my, that aria with Lorraine singing brought tears to my eyes. The whole idea of "enough." We can all wrestle with that every day in one way or another. You are brilliant, Josh!

Very good. I'm really impressed by how your docs have it down to a science, by slowly bringing you
back to solid food at just the right time in the process, bla bla. They really seem to have their shit
together. You too!
I try to not give my unasked for advice, but I can't help it. I'm repeating myself, but here goes:
As every gardener knows, "Nature abhors a vacuum." So if you feel a sort of vacuum at meal times,
dotted lines around missing "comfort food" that ain't there now--put something else there! I mean,
in place of foodfoodfood, some other comforting thing, something pleasurable in place of that
mashed "love" no longer heaped on your plate. I dunno--reading? music? Well, I cheated, tried
to slip in some advice, as if I knew anything. You're on the right track, bub. maintain, joe
You definitely could have a future as a restaurant food photographer!
Congrats on the progress - maybe a bit more dill? Loved your Nixon line -
Congrats on the progress. Yiddish is and isn’t like German. “Genau” is exactly in German as a factoid for the day.
Hey I've long been a fan of "Ich Habe Genug" but never thought to look up what it means! Who knew?

Thanks for LHL note.
I was glad to weep to it.
