My biggest struggle is coffee !!!! I started friday with limiting myself to my usual protein hot chocolate coffee on my way to work and one cup after work. My goal was to replace it with K2O water. I wanted to get in 4 packs. I got in 3. I thought that  was a good start. Yesterday was a struggle. I find it hard not to drink coffee when everyone is drinking it around me and I love it. This is far more harder then any food addition. On days I work it is so much easier. Any sujestions and what is your biggest struggle in this journey? See all lighter. Joanne

i must agree that coffee is addictive..i drink it daily, as you know. I think that when the timecomes my struggle will be grazing.. eatting a lot through out the day. But we will see. Im certainly goin to avoid it,

Vanessa, I can't waite for the day that I can say " Welcome to the loser's bench, where there is always room for one more."  I hope you learn alot from the struggles you see around you daily. When I think of the struggles I have had in this journey sometimes I say why me. I have learned that God puts us places in our lives for a reason and we may not understand at the time why but if my struggles help one person there was a reason. You will have lots of experts around you and many people to lean on. I wish I could tell you ,you will not graze but I can't. I can only say learn by the mistakes you see around you. Work on issues for they will still be there after surgery. Take advantage of that Honeymoon period . Practice eating healthy now. It is never to early. Eat to live !!!! See you lighter.

Coffee is also my downfall. But.... I am going back to decafe so that should help. The K20 water is good bu****ch out for the lemon because that will pucker your jaws atleast it did mine.

I use the light which is half decaf. Hubby can't have coffee after his last hospital stay so we will be switching to decaf and only making coffee twice a day. In the morning and 5p.m.  I really like the K2O iced tea. Did you know caffein makes your heart race?  I will be using decaf tea too . See you lighter.
