[I Called Jenny]

Coke Zero was the only thing that passed my lips.. well and coffee. My husband used to wonder how my body stayed alive lol. I havent had a coke in 3 weeks and I wish I could take credit for quitting. I started a medication that made the coke taste flat. Just so gross. Imagine drinking a coke left out in the car overnight on a hot August night. I cant think of enough descriptors to explain how gross. And like Pavlov's dog I can't stand the sight of a coke now. I didnt intend for that side effect but its probably the best thing that happened to me. I have always had a hard time losing. First off, about 15 years ago, before it was "cool" I had a gastric bypass and I am living proof that yes your stomach can strech back out. I dont weight close to what I originally weighed but I'm not thin, thats for sure. Then I have hypothryroidism, so thats always fun when your trying to lose weight. And if that wasnt enough I take medication for bipolar that makes it very hard to not gain weight let alone lose weight. I feel like I should write a book. So I will be stalking these forums soaking in all y'alls wisdom, cuz I really needs it lol.

Well, you've certainly been through and, unfortunately, still are going through enough to fill a book.

Report: One diet coke yesterday and one today. Yay!

Also with your inspiration I went back for this week to week one on Jenny.
Just to go back to how "by the letter" I was. It is making me see how sloppy I got.
I was NOT eating all my fruit or veges! I was adding extra things here and there.
And I was drinking too many glasses of wine

I drank all my water yesterday too!

Awesome on the water drinking. That is the toughest part for me.

Writing a book is an excellent next step. Follow your instincts.
