OK, so here I am once again. I've lost count of how many times I've "restarted", trying to lose these last 20 pounds. I'm not having much damn luck. *L*
So. I've decided to break things up into small manageable goals rather than going full tilt with everything at once. Maybe then things will work out better and it will be easier to stick to it all in the long run.
My first challenge will be to wean myself off of all liquids except water. I don't drink fruit juices anymore; gave those up completely. My downfall is soda. Before I started my weight loss journey it was all regular soda, and I managed to cut down to one a week. But then...I started on the diet soda. Oh dear god. I managed to convince myself that they were okay because they didn't have any calories (or points, since I'm doing WW.) But I know they're full of artificial sweeteners and those aren't good either.
So it's back to water. But oh my GOD isn't water the most boring thing on the planet! I tried cucumber-infused water, and I'm not a fan. Ick. I like lemon water, but that gets boring after a while when it's the only thing you're using.
I tried some flavoured sparkling water, and it was preeeetty much the most disgusting stuff I had ever tasted, so that's out the window. I didn't think something that was "mandarin orange" flavoured could possibly taste that bad. Eww.
I've seen those Soda Stream things for sale at WalMart, and they're not real expensive, but I don't know anyone who has one so I don't know what peoples' experiences have been with them.
Does anyone have any ideas? I just want something I can use temporarily, something with flavour and maybe a bit of fizz so I won't miss the soda TOO much. Eventually I want to be on water and nothing else, but it just seems like so much of a jump to go from soda to nothing but water, just like that.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
