They need a calories "drink" or something that has nothing but calories, lol

Oh say! How about a shake of some kind?

Isn't that what coca-cola is?? Oh, and caffeine!

And if you aren't hungry, you don't necessarily NEED to eat more... but think about calories and nutrition together. It's not only about eating calories, it's about eating foods that make you feel good. Also, you could just have a little more of what you already eat... slightly bigger portions of the good stuff!

back at ya, susan... on all counts! You're in a great place and always take a lot of time to talk to people!

And thanks for noticing! I can't believe I have lost just about 25% of my starting weight!! I'm in a groove!

wyllenn - you are doing awesome! I am going to keep you in mind everytime I reach for that cookie! hehe

Shake... protien shake? That is GOOD FOR ME! If only I could figure out how to make them so I don't have to plug my nose to drink it without wanting to throw it back up. If I make it like I did the other day - mix, fruit, milk, maybe add some yogurt or something - that would give me like an extra 200 calories among other good stuff!

I don't want empty calories - I want good calories so coke is out of the question! lol

And I really want to thank all of your for helping me. I am going to try and get my calories up to 1500 a day and try that for a bit and see how it works. My big thing - like I said - I am scared of calories and fat.

Your shake sounds fine!

Oh and thanks Wyllen. Isn't this the greatest place to come for help and encouragement?

just think about the commitment you are making for yourself and your ultimate goal. Is that cookie REALLY worth interfering with getting to your goal? Sometimes the answer will be yes, but usually for me it is no.

It truly is. I've been a lurker on almost every other board I've ever read, but getting involved here has been helpful to me in so many ways! Not only have I learned a TON of information, but talking other people through their struggles helps me with my own!
