eggs are an issue for a lot of people, so don't worry if they don't agree with you right now. It took me 3 - 4 months before I could eat eggs again and I still cannot eat runny yolks (instant throwing up), but hard yolks are okay. Be careful about adding in condiments that may add a lot of bad calories. Use yogurt instead of mayo. Also, watch the chocolate milk, it is often very high in sugar and sugar is not your friend. I saw a bottle of Tru Moo Chocolate milk (about 8 - 10 oz.) that had 40 grams of sugar! Waaaay too much!

The glorious burn? I was talking about the addiction aspects, in relation to the psychological desire for soda. The physical addiction is to caffeine and aspartame (if it contains it). I guess I didn't drink enough to know what the glorious burn is.

Diet soda is bad for you for so many reasons. I quit diet coke/coke zero and haven't looked back. Quitting completely stopped my headaches/migraines. I am 5 months out and don't miss it a bit. Remember that addiction to diet soda is in your head and your body can definitely do without it. Plus, the carbonation stuff is true. Makes you feel really crappy.

It's normal and you should want it to be. This way your body adjusts to the weight loss and you have time to adjust mentally. Don't be discouraged. We are all different and will lose in different amounts and stall for different periods of time. Just remember: protein, water, exercise!
