Yep, I love the Crystal Lite lemonade packets. Only five calories - hallelujah!

My favorite drink is the Aquafina Flavorsplash waters. The citrus flavor and the grape flavor are my favorites. I drink them like I used to drink sody-pop.

I stopped drinking pop about 4 years ago. I never buy it or order it. Except for the occasional exception like if I'm serving something special at dinner when we have company.

At those type of dinners or other special times .... Christmas, etc..... I buy those sparkling fruit juices that come in a bottle that looks like a wine bottle.

And you called me a sinner...oh, the shame of it all!!

No, seriously I applaud anyone who can just quit. When I drink pop now, it is Diet Pepsi, but do not drink nearly what I was with Coke...a glass here and there is all now.

You would be proud, sis...I've had 2 bottles of water already today!!

I went to Jets to pick up the pizza and pulled a 2 liter of ice cold Coke out of the cooler!! It is the real stuff, y'all...not that watered down fountain stuff you get in a restaurant. I'm talking the real McCoy here!!

I haven't had Coke since the first of January...whew!! Talk about strong drink!!

Barb, I lost almost 80 lbs from Nov 2005- July 2006. Have not had a soda since Nov 2005.

I went from 245 to 173.

My neighbors thought I was my 16 year old son.

I have since gone up to 192.

However, I feel so much better without drinking soda.

Straight Coke and freezing cold was my choice.

You actually made me taste it when I read your thread...

However I will not give in this time....

Oh...I know...we sound like crack heads, don't we?!

Congratulations though...I'm trying here to do what's right. Thankfully I have good friends who ask me from time to time how I'm doing with it and who try to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Exactly. If I had one Coke today. I would be 250 lbs again by Memorial day.

Pizza and Coke were my Childhood favorites.

I just need to get it out of my mind...

I think food is the greatest (most horrible) addiction known to man.
A person just can't quit eating. So its not like crack or alcohol or cigarretes, you must walk a fine line every single day.

In our culture, it is extremely hard to practice temperance due to the fact that most events incorporate food as part of the fellowship. I am not copping out here, just stating that it is extremely difficult to stay healthy, and practice temperance.

That's absolutely my problem. We don't do anything that doesn't involve food.

Why just cut back food-why not do more exercise?
I use to love to be active until the accident with the drunk driver.

I think people need to get active again.
