After one day on this I'm actually starting to get that thing in cartoons where Whitney's beginning to look like a giant sausage.

On the plus side: good chance to lose weight. How long is this for? I presume nuts are out of the question, too, right?

Would some form of cocoa drink, not involving any milk also be acceptable? Because that's something to vary your diet...

[Kathryn's influence has me trying to eat healthily at present. A great realisation, which of course is useless to you at present is that mini milks are actually really really healthy snacks - they're just milk!]

This is just until Thursday, I hope, and is to give everything from the stomach down a break from what I got it to experience last week. Apparently I was premature to start eating again...

I can't have nuts, the rule is anything that's a clear liquid is OK. Cocoa even without milk is probably dodgy, though it's a thought nonetheless.

I used to love Mini Milks - I never much liked any other kind of ice cream van related things, actually.

You should seriously consider starting treating yourself to them again, if you can find them...

[The cocoa idea is because I can't see how that's worse than tea or coffee, if there is no cocoa butter involved...]
