Coke
I once heard an old man say "you will never see me drinking Diet Coke, cause only fat people drink it, must make you fat?" Yep I was a coke a-holic quit smoking ten years ago, don't drink, no drugs, but god I loved my cokes and when I made this decision to have surgery I knew it was time to break the addiction, I mean if I could give up a two pack a day marlboro light habit for 20 years, I could quit cokes? So I looked at it the same way I looked at ciggeretts what did it offer me besides comfort? Lets see - caffeen, ok good for me? no, is an appetite enhancer. Nutritional value? no, packed with an incredible level of sodium, great way to maintain that extra water weight. Carbonation? no, those expanding bubbles are stretching out that pouch so more food will fit in the future. and I drank diet coke religously "just for the taste of it!!!" if I was drinking the leaded stuff I might as well be downing a milky way bar -about the same calories except my body uses a few calories digesting the candy bar - the liquid calories go straight to suger and fat storage. Have strength my friends- give up those carbonated bombs of poor health!!! have a carb free carnation instant breakfast or some koolaid. We want to maintain health and lowered weight- love you guys and thanks for being here it makes this journey so much easyer!!!
