Thanks so much for your replies. Hoping, I understand tough love--when I was replying earlier I thought to myself...those pepsi's have to go...I love your idea about replacing the soda with water, I drink more water, I get a "pepsi reward". I can dig it. lol I bought some ketostix at CVS and believe it or not, even tho I'm drinking the pepsi's and loaded with sodium compliments of Hardee's, according to them I am in HIGH ketosis, it never ever reads less than moderate, and most times it's in the high zones. I am going to print out my list of legal foods and keep it with me and strictly go by that from this day forward. I'll keep you guys posted, I love reading the posts here, it's just hard for me to "step up" and and actually post when I know I have a serious weight problem, and to confess how you really feel deep down to strangers is not me. I've always had the attitude that I love the person I am, no matter how fat I am, but now that i've started losing some, I've reconsidered--I don't like it and all this time I've been fooling myself.
