I am not a fan of diet soda, but I did find that Coke Zero is a happy compromise for me. It is a nice treat once in a while. I am back to drinking 2 liters of water a day, which I did for a while a few years ago. I had stopped drinking soda and only drank water -- I lost 60 pounds in only a few months by doing that! No other changes in diet or exercise, just no soda and lots of water!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355961023420744232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387367088959209308.post-19666362132979591262009-01-09T15:41:00.000-06:002009-01-09T15:41:00.000-06:00i was a MAJOR coke addict... until i joined weight...i was a MAJOR coke addict... until i joined weight watchers. when i realized how many calories i was putting into my body, it scared me away. <BR/><BR/>here are two things that helped take the sting away from my beloved beverage:<BR/>1. carbonated water. you can get these flavored at heb for pretty cheap. they have a flavor and still have that carbonated feel like coke. but zero calories.<BR/>2. i have become an ice addict. still not good, but better. so i trick myself into getting water, plus just add ice and you are good to go. but don't make it sweet tea or else it's just as bad as coke. i put splenda or other sugar alternatives to make it taste better.Becky Kiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937129961362227318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387367088959209308.post-66049814386768283412009-01-08T08:49:00.000-06:002009-01-08T08:49:00.000-06:00Yep!

I don't like to be 'controlled' by anything other than the Holy Spirit so when I realized that my first thought in the morning was 'Cherry Coke', I dropped it cold turkey!!!

All we keep to drink is water, tea, juice, milk, and coffee... <BR/><BR/>When we go out though, I almost always get a Coke. And when I make BBQ we get a 2Liter and I end up drinking it all. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to resist when it's -right- there...<BR/><BR/>Good luck, until payday at least ;)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959598983541302366noreply@blogger.com
