I love Isopure Protein Drink, although you drink it as is and don't mix it with anything. It's basically already the consistency of Water. My favorite is grape frost. You can check it out on Amazon:

I like the premier clear. I cut it with some Water and ice. It is pretty good.

I froze a lot of the Premier Protein Premier Clear Protein Drink at 20 gms of protein in 4 ounce disposable zip popsicle bags. Some flavors are too sweet to me but taste great frozen.

That looks and sounds wonderful!! I’m going to try it! Thanks!!

I started drinking Protein Water. I like this one it tastes like a pina colada. 15 gs of protein in 16 oz of Fluid. Brand = Protein20

Never, so far. I am avoiding anything with sugar. I made two birthday cakes this week. I feel so good after turning down the cake and ice cream. The short term sweet taste is not worth the risk of dumping - not when I hear how awful it is from everyone else's experiences.

Hi Deedee,
We have to unlearn the concept of perfection, its not real. I wanted to lay on my butt all day today, but that wasn't successful thinking. Acting up my thoughts of doing cleaned my kitchen and prepared 2 delicious meals for me today. We have to push and ask ourselves what motivated you to end up helping yourself. Apply that same concept to getting things done, which is a reward to self. Did you embark on the journey to keep living life the same way or to cultivate new habits and experiences??? Your new body desires a clutter free environment, whatever exercise you can do, better food choices, hydration, a new comfortable sheet set to lie down on after along day. Do you see where I'm going with this??? Make your tasks smaller in your mind as a way not to overwhelm your own mind.

Don't take it personally but girls are that age just care about their boyfriends and their looks and their friends lol

And they will fade and grow smaller- at one year m8ne have all faded into the stretch mark scars I had from 3 9 pound babies once upon a time. If you weren't another bari- patient and knew where to look, you'd never find them. Only one really still evident and it's such a mini one is the one. between my breasts where the liver retractor was placed. There had not been stretch marks so high to hide it. Its my little battle ribbon from it all. Means my skin rated me a SUCCESS so I wear it with pride!

I'm always so happy to hear from you frustr8 you have such a positive attitude and alwaws give me such gr8 advice thank you

You will need support and if you can't get it in the physical form, watch a few inspirational videos (let it play in the background). Make a game of picking up a few items every half hour in your room. Once you start to clear your immediate space, clarity starts to creep in your mental.

Just want to say, "hello", and let you know there are people out here in cyberspace who care! I'm sorry you're struggling. Your body has been through a lot, and it's hard being a single parent. Try and take things one hour at a time, then get through the next hour. Be patient with yourself and the tidiness of your home. Going for a walk is a great idea when you're down. Things will get better!
