    I try to set my daily schedule based on where I might find clean toilets. I find mornings to be the most fluid, so I stay close to home. I can resist the urges for 2 to 3 hours at a time. If I go someplace where facilities are not available, say over 6 hours, I will take an anti-diuretic or two. I’m good for 10 to 12 hours then. Once the effects of the Imodium wears off, the next two days are a bit uncomfortable. I take antidiuretics, maybe once a month. I try to stay away from them. 🙂

    I eat much less these days too – I try to keep calorie intake under 2200 per day – Portion control and food that’s good for me. Walk about 6 miles a day. Always trying to keep stress to a minimum.
