I'm not the only freak in my house that LOVES OPTI. It would seem to be genetic.....both of my teenaged sons love it as does hubby. Weveryone got a small sample of that part of my dinner tonight, and my 17 year old son asked if he could have a small cup with me before bed tonight. Who knew?

Teenage boys will eat ANYTHING... especially if it's something they can't have. Better lock your packets in the liquor cabinet! lol

Actually, I did have a talk with my 15 year old fitness/health junkie when I brought my Opti home on Monday. He is a daily protein shake drinker so I told him he can't have any of my shakes because I have to drink them all so I heal well after surgery, he was ok with that ( or so he said

)

Crazy kids. I'm dreading the stuff. I know I'll be plugging my nose and gulping and then a big glass of water to wash away the taste. Yuck!

I loved Opti! I found it delicious when I put some flavour shots in the vanilla and put them in my magic bullet with a few ice cubes and water. Yum! I sometimes wish I could still have them now.

I agree, the mind is a wonderful, magical machine. I believe a lot of this journey will be mind over matter! I told myself that I would really enjoy the opti phase, it would be nice not to think about what to eat, and they would taste like Starbucks Frappucinos ( which I love ) and that's what they taste like to me

. I'm a behaviourist by trade, and am planning to practice most of the lessons I preach to my clients from here on in.

My two year old snuck a sip today too and was devastated when I didn't let her have more!! Hope I am as enthusiastic about drinking it for the full two weeks!
