6. What is your favorite "mushy" food? Cottage Cheese

7. What was your worst PB experience? I ate some steak too quickly and I didn't chew it well enough so it got REALLY stuck and I felt sick but I couldn't PB. After feeling like crap for about 2 hours I finally decide to get in the shower and just stand under the hot water. Sure enough that helped and I PBd all over the shower.

8. What has been the hardest part of this journey so far for you? Not getting enough protein so my hair loss has been REALLY bad.
