I'm starting to hate water...

OK so, as many of you know I've been working on my mission papers. About 2 Saturdays ago I finally went to the doctor. He told me that the only thing right off the bat that would keep me from going on my mission was my weight, which I already knew. So he put me on a 30 day cleanse- a 1/2 gal of water a day, no milk, juice, punch, or soda. No sugar except honey and pure maple syrup. Avoid potatoes and dairy products and no high fructose corn syrup. So...needless to say I've been struggling...I had a potato the other day and nearly cried because it tasted so good! But moms been great; buying vegetables and fruit but every once in a while she'll forget that I cant have potatoes or milk. And whats even better is that everyone here has decided to help me along by walking with me every evening right after the sun goes down when its nice and cool. I also had to get my blood taken to do some general test because it was my first time to the doctor and I don't know my blood type. I'd know by now but the Dr. said to come back in when I've found my shot records which may take a while considering that all of the files have been moved because of the remodeling. But yea, that's what I've been going through lately.
