[QUOTE="Lil, post: 664108, member: 17309"] I'm thinking it might be two things. First, sugar. We eat a lot of ice cream - not in quantity but frequency...we fit it in the calories, but perhaps it's time to change that to more natural sweets. Second, I do NOT drink enough water. I usually get to lunch time and even maybe as late as 2:00 p.m. on 3 cups (well - 6 cups if you're going by 8 fluid oz) of coffee. I just don't drink much and nurse a cup of coffee sitting on a warmer for hours. Then I get a 32 oz mug of water and drink that before I come home, but I've been known to go from 5 to 10 drinking a single caffeine free diet coke. So realistically, I'm getting about 4 cups of water a day - 5 1/2 if I count the soda - and that is half what I should be. I suppose, now that I'm walking in the heat, I could be retaining a lot of water because I'm not getting enough. I really, truly, would rather weigh 300 lbs than cut out all wheat. And I have weighed 300 lbs, so I know what I'm saying...I'm too damn close to that now to suit me. (Yeah...okay...maybe I wouldn't. :() But I would actually have to have a doctor tell me it was killing me to quit eating wheat. I know how bad that sounds, but I'll cut out fats and sugars and caffeine...even chocolate...before I'll cut out wheat. Quitting cigarettes was a piece of cake compared to even thinking of not eating any...cake (or bread or pasta). So...I'm going to try to start drinking more water and eating fewer sweets...and no more than one diet soda...I know it's terrible for me but I love it. [/QUOTE]
