I use to love to be active until the accident with the drunk driver.

I think people need to get active again.

Cool

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.[/QUOTE]


I totally agree. I was a huge diet coke fanantic but read a book dealing with poor American food choices and quit for a couple months, but alas I too gave into temptation. I have once again said "no" to diet coke, but it calls your name.
I recently read a statement indicating that drinking diet coke causes people to gain weight. How can this be? You mean you can't eat a Snickers with your diet coke?
I find it hardest to resist when eating out. I love coffee, but it doesn't go with every meal, imo. Maybe I'll turn into an iced tea addict instead.

Yeah, I slipped again today...I know Felicity and Renda are going to call a prayer meeting if I don't quit falling off the wagon...

My husband and I made the commitment to stop drinking soda--he LOVES Mt Dew and I am hooked on Diet DP. He has done pretty good. Me--I start sweating just thinking of giving it up completely. I ran out of soda last night and had to go get some today by lunch time.

I seriously felt like a crack addict going to get my "fix".....lol

So now to wean myself off I am going to make myself drink 32 ounces of water before I can have any Diet DP and then another 32 ounces after that one.

That's a thought, but I already drink lots of water. I just add other liquids to my daily intake.
You have to keep hydrated!
