Ditto here on eating anything (and EVERYTHING eek ). I have actually put on about 40 lbs since July and even ate a foot long Subway the other day with jalapenos, oil & vinegar, toasted and did not even drink a drop of water until the end! If the wind blows I remember to keep the mouth shut and it doesn't dry out as bad. I autocrossed the other day and went 5 runs without a water bottle. I was coughing and gagging a bit the last run because my youngest son forgot he had my water bottle and he didn't give me a drink when he was supposed to! I came in second to a Subaru WRX STI by .04 seconds and he was whooping me last year by 3-4 seconds a run. Life doesn't get much better than this and I keep forgetting how many months have passed!
