I am a diet coke head!!!!

[kelseeisfine]

I am now 3 days into my diet. I am feeling really good about everything. It has not really been that hard at all for me. Its partly easier now then before because I cut fast food out completely a month ago. So, I am already used to not having that. Now I am working on cutting out Diet Coke (which is going to be hell, because its my crack!) I am

Instead of drinking 1 diet coke a day, just buy a 20oz bottle (like at Circle K or something...) and drink a little bit at a time throughout the day. Since it has the cap you can put it back on and keep it in the fridge. I don't know how I thought of that but it sounds good to me.

Yes!

[kelseeisfine]

Yes, That is quite a good idea. I just know what coke does to metal when you pour it on there...I can just imagine what it does to your stomach!!! I just think that if I could caught out soft drinks I would feel better. Plus, when you are working out and you had diet coke all day you feel dehydrated!!! But thanks for helping me...Makes me feel special.

Did you know that bottled water companies made up the thing about drinking a gallon of water a day? All you really need is 6 glasses, or whenever you feel thirsty. Also, tea, coke, kool-aid, and any other non-alcoholic drink is considered a liquid. Try cutting your caffiene intake back by drinking non-caffinated diet cokes. You are STILL getting your daily fluids. Water is in all of these drinks. Also, it is in the foods that you eat. The only thing a butt load of water will do you is make your pee clear!!!
(being in the hospital last week I learned this information)

I don't care about getting a gallon of water a day. I just like water and it helps when you are working out to give you lots of energy. Plus the carbonation in cokes stretches out your stomach. Coke is just so terrible for you all together. I would much rather get into the habit of drinking more water. When you get to feeling better and you get the baby settled in you should start Jazzercising with me. Its so much fun and it would be great to have a friend there with me!!!!

Hey! No, I am not enrolled in BRCC right now. I am just working (a lot). I like my job though and I am waiting to go back to school once Luke is finished. I may way until after we are married or go before. I am not real sure. I just know right now its not an option. Yes, I am dieting! just eating better and taking a Jazzercise class at night. I go 3 nights a week. I have only been to two classes so far and its awesome! I love you sooooo much!!!

yeah... they use coke to get blood off the road after wrecks..... also, if you put a pound of beef in a container with a coke it completely dissolves.

[kelseeisfine]

LOL, Exactly. A little scary to know that is what we put in our bodies!!!!! I also heard from someone that the Aspartame from diet drinks turns into Formaldehyde in your system. I have no clue if that is true or not...but its scary none the less!

[chereecie]

I wouldn't believe it... I'm allergic to formaldehyde.. I can't live in old houses or trailers because of it... Just being around the stuff makes me very ill... and I drank diet drinks while I was pregnant. (my doctor approved it)

Well maybe not, but here are some very interesting websites on Aspartame if you wanna read up.
