SAPF I missed out on your earlier post but I love Fresca Black Cherry. It's one of the few soft drinks I'll even drink. But I have to be honest, my other friends that have tried it at my house had a similar reaction to yours.

Today has been bad, with the stress of the titration period, and no end in sight for another 2 weeks. I am looking forward to just taking my dang meds, and not going to give blood/urinalysis once a week.
egg mc muffin, no ham
bacon on side
1 fruit salad
water is the only thing I've had to drink today I am going to try to drink 2 gallons when all is said & done.
1 slice sausage pizza (thin crust)
1 garden salad
2 little cups creamy parmesan dressing. I love this stuff & must stay away. I could eat it over ice cream. The sad part is, I'm not kidding.
Ok....I am trying and I know it is small steps but I feel like maybe this is not for me. I used to have it so easy when I decided to diet. I saw failure several times when I went off plan and went back to my old ways. I wanted to see at least a big number when I started and then a 2 pounds a week. This is just so hard and making see what I am willing and not motivated to do. I guess I am just fat and lazy.
? Are you talking about losing weight or a particular diet or ??? I might have missed something from earlier posts, so bear with me.
It sounds like you have some big expectations about losing weight at a particular rate because you've done it before. Well, that's possibly why it may not happen this time--that dreaded yo-yo dieting effect. Is there any way you can just make changes (eat normal portions of health food, drink water, and exercise) that you know are good for your body and let the rest go? Forget the scale--put it out in the garage. If anything, you'll be healthier because of it, and, while we all want to look good in a pair of jeans and that Victoria's Secret lingerie, isn't our health what it's really all about?
Less work today. Still hectic. I had some late-afternoon dead time, waiting for a report to be proofed by coworkers, so I went for a hike.

Poor on exercise today. Good on relaxation! I had a cake craving tonight, big-time. I decided if I wanted it that bad, I could make it from scratch. All of it. So I did, and made cupcakes with frosting, all from scratch (with some reduced fat, reduced sugar ingredients). Luckily I'm a poor cook and they came out pretty bad, then I chowed down on three of them anyway, got sick, and threw the rest out. But because they burned on the bottom it was more like those muffin tops, not too much to them.
Breakfast: Vegetable quiche
Lunch: Honey ginger chicken over brown rice
Snack: Small pack of jelly bellies, and 6 oz strawberries with a touch of sugar
Dinner: Leftover baked ziti with sausage
Dessert: Three (sort of) homemade messed-up cupcakes, with frosting

I love this stuff & must stay away. I could eat it over ice cream. 
The sad part is, I'm not kidding.
