Hi all,
this is my second post. I'm new here but from what I've read you all are absolutely amazing people. Besides my question, I'll just briefly introduce myself..
My name is Emily and I'm 18. I currently weigh 317.5 lbs. I've been down the weight loss road many times, just like a lot of you. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight and then gained it back plus more.. I guess that's a fairly typical story even though most of the time I feel so alone.
I've been doing well for the past week but one thing I've noticed in the past is each time I have lost some weight my diet pepsi consumption drastically increases. This gets expensive after a while and all the aspartame kind of scares me, but I'm just so addicted I guess.
I'm thinking about weining myself off of it completely and just drinking water (along with 2 glasses of 1% milk a day for the calcium.. even though I'm not nuts on milk ).
Is this a good idea, or what are your inputs on this? Have any of you done this and how did it go? Are you healthier without the diet pepsi? Less tired? etc. Any advice or comments are very much appreciated.
Regards,
-Emily
