Bought a Pepsi...

  • Took two drinks. Called my neighbor and gave it away.

    Today was my cheat day (I give myself one every two weeks) so I figured why not? Apparently in the past month I've made myself incapable of drinking soda. After those two drinks I felt so physically I'll it was kind of alarming. So back to my water and occasional latte. I'm still sort of shocked since I used to be able to polish off a 20oz in 20 minutes. I wouldn't really call it any sort of victory but I guess it's a good thing? Wonder what else I'll no longer be able to tolerate.
  • Congratulations on giving it away! That -- and the fact that you couldn't polish it off -- are huge victories!

    I know that I get mad at myself when I spend splurge calories on something that I didn't really want. I am looking to upgrade in that department. If you are going to splurge on occasion, maybe you could find something more special? A nice dinner out, perhaps, with a friend?
  • Someone close to me made a BIG (This thing was gigantic) chocolate cake last Sunday and gave me a piece. After the 1st bite I knew I didn't want it, but I ate it anyway because she spent a lot of time making it.
    Everyone else seemed to love it, but lately lots of sweet treats don't do much for me anyway.
    I wish I did what you did! Congrats, more than losing weight you're changing your thinking!
  • That is awesome. It is much easier to stay away from junk food when you dont like it anymore!

    I also only drink sodas on occasion now. Way to sweet and makes my stomach feel gross! If I am going to drink my calories, I'd rather spend them on something from Starbucks :-)
