I like the way you think. I love water more than anything. The colder the better. I too every now and then drink a Coke over crushed ice. I give myself a second chance to control my life and I chose water. I now have lost 75 pounds and feel great. I am 6' 3.5" and 248 pounds from 323 pounds. My doctor just about passed out when I made a visit 8 months after my last visit. My doctor did not believe me so he ask my wife what I had done to lose all the weight. She put him straight. Water is the reason I am healthy now. Water the Essence of Life.
Like most petite women, she probably doesn't have a very big appetite, right? If that's the case, I'd recommend she supplement her regular diet with high protein milkshakes. Something along the lines of SlimFast, Ensure or the like, or she can buy protein powders and create her own smoothies at home by mixing them with milk, yogurt or even ice cream and fruit. She may have to try several different powders to find the one that's just right for her, but once she finds a brand to her liking it will be much easier for her to supplement her diet.
The Irish Lady my wife thanks you. We have tried the traditional eat something approach and of course it did not work. She can not eat much at all. Again thanks and we plan on having her up by 10 pounds next month. At least that is our goal. :BigA:
