Someone who posted on another thread had me thinking...... I KNOW that I have a love affair with food. It's always been there for me. It's my comfort. I know that and own up to it. I had gastric bypass surgery in 97 and lost 125lbs. I was never super skinny but was very comfortable with my weight - around 175 at the lowest. I've kept it off this whole time, however have basically been able to eat what I want without repercussion. Till NOW!

I've been on some meds that cause weight gain and am off most of them now (except a beta blocker for heart palps) and have gained 8 lbs in 2 months! I think my metabolism has taken a huge nosedive (age, medications....who knows?). I need to do something strict to get my body on a roll again. I usually stick to around 1400 cals a day. I admit not the best food choices always, but I do at least usually stay in the calorie range. I'm thinking of trying maybe low carb. Or meal replacement shakes for a few weeks.... not exactly sure WHAT to do so I'm open to suggestions. Will power is difficult for me but I'm working on it!

    In the past I've shaken things up with a 21 day raw diet.

    Funny thing is, I need to shake things up too but I just am not motivated to go raw. Even during summer here in Louisiana I've been cold, cold,cold and I just can't force myself to go raw which will make me even colder!
