I'm enjoying my last Coca Cola

[PacificBlue]

I had been 'on the wagon' for quite a while. Then that sweet, dark liquid called to me.... "PacificBlue...drink me, drink me!" and I did. I thought I could handle it. I thought I could keep it under control. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Coke is a 'trigger food' for me. Most people have them. Something in your diet that causes you to eat a whole lot of other bad stuff in addition to it. I drink coke. I eat junk. It isn't rocket science.

No going back this time. As, Is, Was, Did, Done...

Do you have triggers that cause you to eat junk food?

 

[Pyper]

Actually, yeah. I can't have Mountain Dew without accompanying it with something chocolate.

 

[BoobsNBrains]

I love Coke. I'm trying to stay as far away from it as possible because I don't want to wind up diabetic like my dad...

Seriously, I drink only water, diet Sprite or diet MT DEW. Cokes are a complete waste. Well, I also drink a lotta coffee but I gotta have it so I'd appreciate if you'd stop making me feel bad about it.

LOL. Ok, I'll work on that one.

I'm not a coffee drinker...thank god. Love the smell. Hate the taste. <--- lines you'll never see Marketing agencies use.

Can't do diet soda...the sugar substitute makes me really really hot...temp. wise not horny wise.

Don't get diabetes, it is a horrible disease. My grandmother has it and the dialysis clinic she goes to is a very solemn place. You can tell the vast majority of the people there know they could have avoided the whole ordeal. Exercise is also key, looking at your location-you live in a pleasant place to stay active and fall is a great time for it.

When I switched from regular coke to diet coke I dropped like 5 pounds just because of the calories I cut out of my diet. Sad.

I've been off regular cola for 3 or 4 years and now I honestly prefer diet. I'm sure the guilt has something to do with it though.

 

[PacificBlue]

Studies have shown that a person can lose 14-16 pounds in one year by not drinking a soda everyday.

What I find really funny and I'm sure some people just prefer the taste of diet is when someone orders a Big Mac and a diet Coke. Uhhh...what was the point???

 

[LordOfDarkness]

I drink blood. If you have too much of it, can spare me some?

 

[Diablogrl]

junk food of any kind is my trigger...I've never been a soda person (I don't like the fizz), but I can't even buy a package of any sort of junk food and keep it in the apartment. There's something about a cookie, a potato chip, a chocolate bar that beckons me to eat it, and thus, I find I have eaten the entire bag/box/container of whatever junk food it is in an entire day. My ability to stop myself from eating junk is almost nil.

I don't buy the stuff for that very reason. If it isn't here, I don't eat it. If I really, really, really want it then I have to drive to the store to get it and hopefully on either the drive or the walk into the store, I've talked myself out of it. It was pretty dicey one night...I was standing in front of the ice cream freezer for a good five minutes before I was able to walk away and tell myself that it wasn't worth it.

Supersize fries with it too. McD's is switching the oil but that doesn't change the caloric value. If one is looking to shed pounds without an extensive exercise routine, 2000-2500calories seems the range. There just is no room for regular cola.

There's got to be something else you can give up! Don't give up the sauce..................


noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That range would be if you are male.

1500 is around the range for a female depending on how much she exercises.

I read that about their oil. The problem being is that portion sizes have gotten out of control. The kids meal...small hamburger, small fries, small soda is a serving for an adult and we order what??? eeekkkk... One plate of pasta at a typical italian restaurant is at least 3-4 servings and possibly more. I was reading an article earlier today that addressed this issue. People feel that with larger portion sizes, they are getting more for their money but are they really? You have to buy bigger clothes for the weight you gain and chances are you'll spend more on health insurance because you have to go to the Doctor more often.

This is what I hate about restaurants. The portions are too big and I can never eat all the food. Then I feel guilty, guilty, guilty because my grandmother always drilled into me that there were starving children in China/Ethiopa/Insert-Random-Country-Here and I should finish what was on my plate.

That's just so wrong and you know it!

 

[PacificBlue]

Ok...I'll give twice as many to make up for the coke I'm not drinking?

*applying chapstick, so my lips don't get too dry*

 

[PacificBlue]

All gone. No more coca cola for this PacificBlue.

Crystal Light here I come.

Better, much better. Some guy's going to owe me big-time for that!

And I intend to collect!

I've grown addicted to Vanilla Coke...




*Sigh...*

 

[freakygirl]

I'm almost all the way off of caffeine.

1 cup of coffee in the morning.. and the rest of the day it's water.

I drink probably, on the average, two cans of Coca Cola a month (12 ounce cans). But it's never a full can in one sitting. I either share with Mr Freaky or one of my kids.

As for junk food. I don't touch it.. unless you consider sunflower seeds junk food.. then I'm guilty. I eat a 1/2 pound bag in a one week period. I recently switched to the unsalted kind. The sodium intake was going to kill me if I continued eating the salted ones.

Altoids are another downfall of mine.. I could eat a tin of those things in about 10 minutes. I make them last me longer than that now. But damn it's hard (especially now that I'm not smoking)

 

[Cara_f_32]

I love Coke.

I limit it to only in social settings because I would sit and drink it all day if i had it my house. I'm one of those people that think coke is better than pepsi although i could never pass the challenge.....yes it is a mental coca cola sickness.
