That is wonderful news, I am sooooooo Happpppy for you Ruth,having to go through the 6 week phase again, is not much fun, but I am happy to say I am doing it, and have finally made it to a point where I am not really hungry even though I have not eating in 9 days, and by the way this broth stuff that you make your self I think it is more filling then the ones in the can, i guess it is the fat content of it that fills you up, and by the way it was Debbie who suggested making my own broth THANKS DEBSM.
