Absolutely. I'm making the food changes under the supervision of my doctor, who suggested the calorie bank. All the same, if I'm hungry, I eat, per her orders. There are days that I feel very satisfied, and others when I feel empty, and on those days I take in a couple hundred more calories and then subtract that from my…

Hahahaahaha, it's true. And yet, I've struggled far more with letting go of my hopes for creamy coffee than my hopes for noodle-y pasta. :). Thanks for the suggestions!!

Foaming!! That's a great idea. Thanks!!

Thanks!

I hadn't tried flavored almond milk. Thanks for the tip! Yup, it sounds like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and just wean down my amount per cup. Thanks!

I've never heard of that before, but I'm ready to branch out! Thanks!

Thanks so much! I love a good chai. :)

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Hahaha thanks for defending my honor @krisalexine! I have tried milk, I think I was just hoping there was a miracle creamer out there that I haven't heard of. :). The Cellucor Cinnamon sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip!

Wow... THAT sounds like an exciting cup of coffee! Maybe I'll experiment for a weekend treat. Thanks!

Thanks so much!! :)

I'm excited for this one! Thanks!

I'm using 2 tbs per cup of coffee @ 2 cups a day. It doesn't feel like much, but it adds up! There's a lot of great suggestions here, so I'll try a few things or learn to enjoy less creamy coffee. :) thanks!

The liquid coffee mate is something I'd like to try. I've only uses the powdered stuff and I just didn't like it. Thanks!

Ooooh I LOVE the vanilla extract idea! Thanks!

Almond milk plus something creamier, that's a great thought!

Yep, after looking through the suggestions think I might go with weaning down but still using half and half. Though there are a few suggestions I'd like to try. Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

I tried whole milk last week (we always have it for the baby), and it actually wasn't too bad. I think I could move in that direction slowly. Thanks!

Thanks!! One other person suggested this as well, and I think I'll try it. :)

I'm going to have to try this, thanks!

Thanks! I will check it out if I can find it here. :)

I hear ya! I may have to just slowly wean the amount creamer I use, as a few folks have suggested.

That's a fun idea I'll have to try! I don't usually add sugar, I just like it creamy. But I'm willing to branch out and try new things. :)

So true! Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. :)

@Yisrael1981 Thanks! I'll check it out!

@Alatariel75 I budget calories with a weekday deficit so I can have a decent date night with my husband at Bonefish Grill if I want to. Honestly, between Zuchini noodle pasta and generous sides of veggies, I feel quite satisfied. That said, it's still slim to squeeze in my coveted half-and-half.
