Losing Weight with Starscream

I ate everything in sight for the last three days. Went conoeing yesterday.
This morning, 210.4.
That's officially 40 pounds since somewhere around the first of the year. 2 pounds in the last 11 days. I'm averaging about 1 1/2 pounds a week and I don't do anything to make it happen. I just keep active as I can and don't eat any artificial stuff except sucralose.

If only I could do the same. I've been hitting the gym, but my food cravings have been hitting me hard over the summer.

I'm sick 90% of the day because of the pain and meds, so that helps.
I drink at least a gallon or two of Aquafina grape water, or just ice water, or powerade zero. I always have a 32 ouncer sitting by me and I drink it religiously.
I keep it warm and pour it over ice, so it's always watered down 50% or better. So it's really just water. Keeps me full.
When I eat, I really eat. The last 3 days I ate everything in sight, but really only one meal a day.
If I get hungry before 5:00, which doesn't generally happen, I eat a snack. Whatever I find first. It might be a candy bar or granola or jelly beans or whatever's sitting around. Doesn't matter. A couple bites settles my stomach so I don't get sick, then I try to eat around 5, then that's it.
If I get hungry at 1 in the morning, I eat a bowl of cereal or something.
