joeybagadonuts Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I keep trying to replace soda with other stuff. Lemon water is so far the best for me. But still get drawn back.Switch to sparkling water. Was never a huge soda drinker but did drink Diet Pepsi or diet Dr Pepper on occasion and a regular coke maybe once every few months with a pizza . Ever since I switched to flavored sparking water, have no desire to drink any sort of soda. Strawberry Bubbly, BlackBerry Spindrift, or Mango La Croix are my goto choices.

BGS 9.5 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 In the last 20 years, soda wasn't my thing. Even during busy season. A few diet cokes here and there, but nothing to speak of. I can only imagine what it is like to get off pop/soda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get too bored of lemon water and tea, so think that's why I don't stick to it. Hopefully that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Joey's right. Sparkling drinks are good. But Iced Tea is my current favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I used to drink about 6-8 cans of regular Coke per day. Now, I only drink water. Huge, huge difference. Coca Cola is addictive poison. After a couple of months of drinking only water, you get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGS 9.5 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Had my first cup of coffee in almost 4 weeks yesterday morning and freaked out until about 4 PM. My body is a bit anti-caffeine to begin with, but this was awful. Going to definitely lay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGS 9.5 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Can only rarely drink coffee myself. I'm not sure if it was the diet, but that cup of java was definitely not worth the 6 hour jitters yesterday. I didn't even finish it. When I was in college, I had a job stocking shelves in a grocery store. Started at 5:45 a.m. By 7:00 I had 4 cups down the hatch, black and dark, and that was just for starters. Granted that was about 25 years ago, but I would be lucky to get 1 diet coke down at lunch nowadays without having some sort of issue.

Coca Cola is addictive poison. After a couple of months of drinking only water, you get used to it. Agree with everything you said, but I was more of a Pepsi guy. I'd also drink the equivalent of 6-8 12 oz. Pepsi a day. I was finicky about it, too. I'd only drink Pepsi from 12 oz. can or a 20 oz. bottle. I hate fountain drinks. Also, my Pepsi had to be ice cold. At gas stations, instead of getting the cheaper Pepsi from the fountain, I'd get the 20 oz. bottle and get a big cup of ice. Most places would charge me for the cup... but I didn't care. Those days are over, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Have some family in town next week. Might be tough but I think I'll make it.Weighed 214 just now, and I'm usually at my heaviest this time of day. Dropping little by little.

joeybagadonuts Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Key is to make sure even if you end up eating poorly for a few meals with your family, that once they leave you immediately get back to your healthy eating routine .

KingRevolver Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Still around 214-215. Actually happy about it since I had family in town and I usually eat more with them in town, but I kept my discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
