yay!!
3 lbs!!! lost so happy. apart from being a bit ill and my daughter is fine now too just got a bug in her bowels so not a happy chick. only 7 lbs to go to achieve my goal. hopefully if i carry on i will be able to achieve this goal before x-mas. then when jan comes ill have to lose it again (well i give in at x-mas food) oh now i remember i cant can i. the milk intolerance thing. thats stinks!!! no choccy at christmas and no baileys allowed along with beer ( really bad experiance with that!!) no crisps ( has milk in them) no tomatoe sauce and some mayonaise as it has milk in it. oh and biscuits cakes pies everything!!!! so i guess by x-mas i will be a stick :*( talk about going form one extreme to another. its good i guess as i have found a soya based butter so i can have toast at last and milk that has the lactose taken out of it so i can have a nice cuppa. just no hotchocolate or the mocha choca coffees. so much is missed but my hubby bless him got me a box of dairy free chcocolates and my god they tasted so so so so sos sos so gooooooood!!!! oh and my sense of taste and smell has come back after 7 years of not having it. wow i mean like i didnt miss the smell of cat litter and dog puke. and changing my sons bum has become intersting...lol but its nice i feel like a dog ssometimes because i get the hint of a smell and i sniff like crazy to smell it. lmao!! how crazy is that. has anybody else had this happen?? my endo told me that losing taste and smell is normal having acro.

I had no idea that the AcroMonster was responsible for losing it - I thought it was having had sinus surgeries - two now that they\'ve gone through the sinuses to go after the tumor causing the acro! It is amazing that you have such a great attitude. I think you\'ll be able to find all sorts of ways to make substitutions and you\'ll be able to do quite well without too much deprivation before too long.You know, they have powdered soy and I make my own hot chocolate mix with powdered milk, why can\'t you make it with the powdered soy? The Baileys might be a bit tough to replace, but there are some other interesting things, maybe you\'ll just have to sample lots and lots of them until you find a suitable replacement :-) I love Chambord drizzled over ice cream - you could drizzle it over tofutti or a different dairy free ice cream and still have a creamy concoction. Congratulations on your wonderfully positive attitude and on your progress.
