Weight: 175
I have to say that I'm feeling a little more confident that I'm going to actually stabilize at this weight. Considering this is only 2 1/2 pounds over my LIW, I think that's pretty good.
I have been talking to some people on SparkPeople.com about my sudden urges to stuff my face and they have been very helpful and supportive. Also, in reading the support forums I have been seeing people talk about coconut oil and I saw some coconut milk in the food section of Fred Meyer yesterday. It was on sale and there was a coupon so I decided to try it. Boy am I glad I did!
What I found very attractive about using coconut milk instead of soy milk, is that it's gluten-free, low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, and soy free. It's fairly expensive at $4.99 per half gallon however, so I need to find a cheaper source.
Part of the reason I was so excited about the find is that I adapted a low-carb cocoa recipe that called for heavy cream and used to coconut milk instead. I still have some tweaking to do to make it taste better but the result filled my very large Starbucks coffee cup. I was full the rest of the day and really did not want to eat very much more at all. Even my craving for sugar went away…now that's some kind of powerful food!
