Peeing Out the Fat

I like that saying 
I just wanted to say that I'm SO proud of
myself! I finished my last can of mountain
dew this morning. I'm going cold turkey, I
don't need it. I bought some diet cherry
pepsi for when I get urges to have a soda
but it's nasty tasting so I'll stick to
water I think! I just finished 32 oz of
water & I have peed, I kid you not, 3
times in the last 45 minutes! But that
saying "peeing out the fat" is sticking
with me! There's no point to this post,
I'm just proud of myself, I'm doing good
dieting this time around so far.

If you drink the diet soda enough, you'll
get used to it and not want regular
anymore. About 3 years ago, I was
diagnosed as a hypoglycemic (low blood
sugar) and they told me I should switch to
drinking diet soda. At first, it was
awful. I finally got used to it and now
diet mountain dew is my absolute fav. It
tastes just like regular to me. Also, now
regular soda tastes like pure sugar to me;
I can't stand it!!! Good luck with your
diet!!

Thanks! I used to drink diet pepsi all the
time up until a few months before I got
pregnant, then I got completely addicted
to mountain dew. Well then I found out I
had gestational diabetes & the doc
told me if I was going to drink soda to
drink diet so I stopped drinking soda
altogether. I started right back up though
after Kaylee was born & have been
drinking it pretty heavily ever since.. I
hope I can stick with this. Mountain dew
is evil.. Mountain dew is evil.. Keep
telling myself that

Mountain Dew looks too much like urine to
me 
I'm obsessed with Coke, but it's kind of
expensive and I feel bad buying it, so I
only get it every once in a while. We
mainly drink water, and I've been drinking
milk lately. Koolaid is cheap and easy to
make too, but it has a lot of sugar in it
which never does anybody any good. Ooh,
I'm also in love with sweet tea, but that
has sugar in it too.
Hmm.

Haha Laura... The next time I want to pop
open a can of mountain dew I'll think of
you saying it looks like urine! I drink
TONS of milk, which is probably another
factor to me not losing any weight before
so I've been slowing down on that too! I
love Cherry Coke, but it makes my teeth
feel gross!

It does! It looks like neon urine!
I loooove Cherry Coke! Well, I don't love
it as much as I used to. I get my Cherry
Cokes at Sonic now, where they take
regular coke and add cherry juice to it.
Now the canned stuff tastes like crap. I
think I'm a bit spoiled on the good
stuff.
Milk is really good for you! Instead of
cutting back, maybe switch to 2% or 1%.
(Skim milk tastes like white water if
you're used to regular milk). I'd buy a
half gallon of 2% for you and keep giving
Kaylee whole.

We use Equal to sweeten our tea and
kool-aid. It tastes just like sugar. I
can't remember the last time that I
actually bought real sugar. I use
artificial sugar for everything.

The closest I would ever personally come
to an artificial sweetener would be
Splenda. I don't trust any of those other
ones. Too many chemicals, too many cancer
horror stories for me.
Not knocking your choice, of course! I
would just personally rather limit my
sugar intake than switch to an artificial
sweetener.

Thanks Nancy!
I've never had a Cherry Coke made like
that Laura, it sounds good though!
That's what I've been thinking about the
milk, getting me some 2% along with
Kaylee's whole milk.

I've never tried anything made with
Splenda or Equal. I don't think I'd be
able to get Shane to drink it, he'd find
*something* wrong with it even if there
was no difference from regular sugar!

Well they make Splenda from real sugar, so
it tastes more like sugar. But it doesn't
taste just
like sugar. I've never encountered
a sweetener that didn't taste funny to me.

I understand that. I used to be that way,
but when you think about it there is
something bad about everything you put
into your body. Plus, when you CAN'T have
the real stuff, you'll settle for just
about anything. I use splenda for baking,
but for some reason I don't like it to
sweeten my drinks. Equal just makes them
taste better.

They can be sometimes. I have found that
it takes less of a sweetener than real
sugar.
My husband wasn't up to the idea of
sweeteners at first either. But for about
a month, I made his tea with Equal without
him knowing it. He never said one thing
about it and one night I asked him how his
tea was. He said it was great and asked
why. I told him I had used Equal...we've
used it ever since.

Do you get used to the aftertaste after a
while? That's what really kills me.

Good luck! I quit cold turkey too. I got
really bad headaches, but it didn't last
to long. I hate diet soda. They are
wayyyyy to sweet. So i didn't have any.
It's tough, but you can do it!
