Oh sweet nectar of the Gods! After creeping up several pounds in the past month due to stress eating, I decided to go back to trying to lose weight. I went back to a company that I last saw back in 2007. I was 20lbs heavier then and looking to lose weight (shocking, I know).
On the plus side, the habits that I picked up over the past two years are no longer an issue. Any weight I lose now is lost naturally. Woo! Go me!
On the down side, the company wants me to give up any soda that's not diet, clear, and caffeine-free. That sounds a lot like water to me. If I actually drank the recommended amount of water for this program - 80 oz a day - I wouldn't have much bladder space left for anything else.
I closely monitor the amount of Diet Coke I drink. I have to. If I didn't I'd be consuming a 12-pack a day and wondering why my stomach hurt all the time. So far, I consistently drink two cans of Diet Coke a day, unless I'm in a restaurant and just go crazy. I'm considering giving up my second can of soda and drinking flavored water at lunch time (yes, I'm still planning on drinking one soda in the morning instead of coffee. I know some people think it's gross. Just pretend you didn't read my confession if you are one of those people).
I just really, really want another soda right now. This sucks.

My Diet Coke addiction has gotten way out of hand lately. Started WW again last week and am trying to cut back, but it helps me snack less if I have a Diet Coke to sip on through the day. Water just doesn't have that effect.
Miss you! We need to chat soon!
I did't make it to my goal of one Diet Coke today.
I also might have the lamest blog known to man.
Hey girl...you know, you can also drink Diet 7UP or Diet Sprite. The "zero" drinks are really good, actually...Sprite Zero, that is. They said nothing that wasn't diet, clear, and caffeine-free. These fit that model and it might help you ease off of the "dark" diet coke.
Just a suggestion!
