I don't eat any kind of ice cream, cake, or regular sodas ever. I do drink diet coke but only after the first year. At first the carbonation caused me pain. I will still get some pain if I drink something that is too cold too quickly (like iced tea on a hot day...sometimes I just gulp it down too fast and I get cramps).

By the way, I still weigh myself every day. Before I started losing weight again because of my thyroid, I would always watch my eating more closely if I gained even 2#'s.

Anyone had plastic surgery yet?
