Thank you for the heads up, Lauren!
Vanessa, that totally makes sense because caffeine is a diuretic and depletes you of water making you have to drink more. I get it now that you’ve said that! Lol. I just started thyroid meds a few months ago and they are working well. And I have high estrogen levels and my doctor just put me on progesterone and it’s making a world of difference! I only wish I had known sooner. Yes, my husband wants to lose weight as much as I do and we both try to support each other as much as we can. We both have about the same amount to lose as well. I honestly don’t know what I would do without him. I am very blessed in that regard. He’s just amazing. He’s even been cooking for us and helping me clean up. I know it’s hard to be around people that aren’t supportive or don’t understand how much you want to make it happen and how hard it is for you, but you can do it! I usually give myself about two weeks until the cravings really start going away and I can pretty much be around most foods after that without much thought to it, but those two weeks can just be a nightmare for me. I’ve been able to pick up little tips and tricks here and there throughout my struggles with my weight though. I’m just praying it sticks this time! We have a plan to make it work and I’m hoping for the best.
