Man I feel your frustration. I did the same thing with shorts this morning. The pair I'm wearing were a little too snug just a couple of weeks ago and now I'm wearing a belt to keep them up. It's a GOOD problem to have

Is Chicken Broth "unlimited"
Hi! I usually get hungry between lunch and dinner. Would it be ok to use fat free chicken broth and kale (another "unlimited" food) soup to hold me over?

I had to smile at your post, it's more common than you would think. We've joked in the past about how many people comment on how great our HAIR looks or ask if we had a haircut up to/around this point in our weight loss. Don't worry, people will start noticing soon, if they haven't really already, sometimes they have but don't know if they should comment or not. Anyway, you are doing great and if you showed people side by side pics of when you started versus today, they would indeed notice.

I had my first weigh in 9.4 pounds lost. I know that it won't go this way every week. But, it sure feels good.

Talk me out of it people!!!!!!!!!! Please don't let me eat a wheel of cheese dipped in chocolate and wash it down with a beer or 6!

Ok.. I think you are doing great.. Looks like you are past the halfway mark!!! And I'm here today to talk you off the ledge! Think I've been to one if those theaters in Austin... ! What else is on the menu?? I googled one in Littleton Co...( noticed they have GF) ...... But see burgers..salads...(toss that bun.... ) BYO beverage..or stick to water.... or iced tea...You got this and have fended off worse over the last weeks. Don't backslide cause you're gonna look great in that Halloween costume if you stay on track!! And beer and fried food is not who you have been of late.......does Fiancé want you to stay OP or is he encouraging you to eat bad and go off the rails? LOL....Doesn't he want the sexy date for Halloween??!! We want pictures.....!

Personally, I am a cake lover, and I love beer. But, we have had many family birthdays, weddings, and celebrations since starting IP. I have not cheated even once, because I know that having the enjoyment of tasting these things is only momentary, and I am left with what.....? Being fat and not feeling good in my own skin and trying to cover up fat rolls in clothes that are too warm for the weather, or still don't look good because they really don't cover up how bad I look. I have missed out on enjoying many outings and get togethers because I felt insecure, uncomfortable, out of breath, you name it! You can do without the garbage. You can enjoy the day without making it about what you are eating. You can find things that are OP and arrange to eat something beforehand. You can drink water with lemon and feel good in the morning! You can get healthy and not worry about developing diabetes or heart disease! You can be romantic later with your fiance and feel sexy, instead of fat and self conscious! You can do this!!!!!
If you are really wanting something sweet to make you feel like you can at least celebrate the day, check out Rainbows recipe for whoopie pies with the Protidiet Chocolate Cake mix and WF Marshmallow Creme.
Good luck and hang tough!

Thank you 65! Not sure if we're celebrating halloween this year, but it'd be nice to have the option to wear a cute costume! Not sure if I can pull off those "sexy" ones, lol! He is a sweetheart, he doesn't care either way as long as I'm happy and he can still have his daily bowl of ice cream LOL (He's one of those that can eat whatever he wants and never gain!). If I tell him I've decided to go off program for a day, he will make sure I have something I've been really wanting/missing. If I tell him I want to stay OP, he will make sure that we go somewhere that will work for me. Sometimes it feels like I'm killing the festive mood when I don't indulge like everyone else and I feel like a pain in the a$$! But you are right, I can make it work. Thank you!!!

Thanks. You're right, I don't want to waste anymore of my life feeling badly about myself. It wasn't too long ago that I dreaded social time because I just didn't like being seen. Thank you 65

I'm on Day 4 and have stuck 100% OP  So far I haven't had any of those dreaded headaches or any other side effects?
I just mixed an Orange Drink and a Vanilla Drink together. Soooo good! Tastes like a melted creamsicle. Downed that sucka so fast. I'm thinking of freezing the other half (for lunch) so it's more like a creamsicle!

You can also blend it with a little crushed ice and it is like a milkshake!
