That is a really NEAT way of thinking of it all ... wow ... I wish I had thought of that. Yep, she was right ... people that I havent seen all winter, are really noticing the change, now that I am wearing my warmer weather clothes and all ..... I, too, want to say "Congrats to all my fellow butterflies!" ..... and have a great day! Susan

Yes I drink it and love it. I like diet sprite the best!

I made a personal choice not to start drinking sodas, diet or otherwise. I once took a sip because I was real thirsty and that was the only cold thing in reach at the time (took a sip of my granddaughter's sprite). It didn't do anything for me. I figure if I can do without them for so long, I can eliminate them all together! Just my choice. Joann RNY 10/20/04 245/169/135ish -76 lbs

Thanks .. and I hope you get there soon! Susan

Girl, I would not fret over that taco. Those tacos are very small. I can eat one and then even have some beans. I think we feel like we overeat just because we eat. I think some of us (I know me) feels very angry and like I ate too much when I get full. Having that full feeling bothers me and in all reality if you think about how many of those tacos we ate pre surgery we should be happy that 1 satisfies us. It was nothing for me to have 5 or 6... Or 8 Krystal burgers... Now I can eat 1 whole one or just the insides of 2. Depends on if I want the bread or not. I tend to pick at all my food. I have to get off the carbs though. I think they are slowing my weight loss down. I just cant seem to do the meats real well. They really make me full and I am miserable when I am full. Sometimes I have 1 bite too much and its on from there. I still have food issues. Sometimes I order something just for the taste and I will chew it up and spit it out. It satisfies my head. Its something I have to learn to deal with. Being a food addict is hard. Dont beat youself up over that taco. Its okay and once its all chewed up its not 4 ounces. Your okay. Back to the basics... Got to work on getting in the water....
