and I here got hooked on watermelons! though ALL LIFE LOVED ALWAYS MELONS MORE. Earlier extremely seldom ate watermelons, well so if is, then for the company, and specially did not buy. And here broke through! I do not want a melon, SERVE WATERMELON! Even slobbers flow!!!! Well very much to me it is tasty! And by the way, if I do not eat watermelon, then hypostases develop. it is noticeable by a wedding ring, and so by sight on the general state is not present. But sometimes somehow I pull together a ring. Here since morning gorged on peanut salty. Naturally hypostases appeared from behind salt. Now on a house habit because of pregnancy I remove a ring, I dress it if I go outside. And so during the day I check fingers, it will put on or not, there are hypostases or not. Here after peanut naturally hypostases went because of salt. In several hours tried to dress a ringlet, it did not fit. Then gorged on arbuziky. Now the ring puts on.

And still if I do not eat watermelon, then at night in a toilet I do not run, though I drink a water mug. And I can run not often in the afternoon. And from watermelon everything returns to normal! ON me SO I BETTER WILL OFTEN RUN, THAN SELDOM. To me it is not DIFFICULT AT ALL EVEN to REACH at NIGHT the TOILET, but I know that kidneys work well.
