No more soda

[celstu1]

My grandmother used to drink a liter of gingerale a day, she stopped doing that and lost 11lbs in like 3 months! Im sure you will lose some weight not drinking soda! Don't deprive yourself though... have 1 can a day.. enjoy that one can.

I eat sweets and drink diet coke. Go figure. Sometimes I think 'how dumb is that'?

I wanted to mention... there is a company in MASS called Polar Beverages. If you can find it, they make seltzer water with NO artificial sweetener, no cals, no sugar, no anything. They makes TONS of flavors and its soooo good. Blueberry, Pomegrante, Grapefruit, Vanilla, Lemon, Lime, Cranberry Lime, Raspberry Lime, etc... they are always coming out with the latest 'craze' fruit flavor.

I hardly drink soda at all. If I want a rum & coke at home I use Coke Zero but only drink one can maybe once every 2 weeks. Maybe 4x a year I get a sunkist. (mmm my fav) but all artifical sweeteners are just not good for you.

I used to drink Fruit2O (a fruit flavored water) but it contains aspertame. So I gave that up.

Check this out.. Polar Beverages, Inc. - Products - Black Cherry Seltzer
I don't know if you can order it for delivery or not.

Im doing it because Im at my heaviest weight ever. I hope it helps me lose 5 pounds or so and of course feel better. But for now Im dying!

Oh man it's a hard addiction to kick. I know I need to stop too. It's a lot of sugar and if I try to drink the diet stuff the nutrasweet makes me break out.
