Sounds like you've got a good program going. Keep up all that water for the chia & flax combo.

Why not treat it as a day trade and pat yourself on the back for every day you succeed in not having to drink Diet Coke? And with chia we don't really acknowledge sucking seeds, right?

I'm sure you can do more than you think you can do.
