Coke
Came in from work this afternoon and had planned on doing some housework
and such.. I go to the fridge and grrr, no diet soda.. not water or tea..I really wanted one. I spied a Coke in the back of the fridge. So I drank it. It was SO sweet I didn't finish it. Now this is coming from a woman who drank on average 6-8 Cokes a DAY about a year ago before I made my WOE changes.. I am truly sick. Bleh. I had to go lay down for a little while. I feel/felt very lethargic and just bleh. Never again! Do you ever think back on how you used to eat/drink and just say to yourself, "wow, it's a wonder I'm not dead." Glad that little experiment is over.. ick. Susan 260/192/140 |

Glad that little experiment is over.. ick. Susan 260/192/140 Yes, I do think back and wonder how I did it. We were at a party yesterday, one of the first since beginning maintenance. I avoided a lot of these gatherings when I was in full diet mode. Anyway, I found that I spent most of my time away from the kitchen where the food table was. There once was a time when I'd hover around that food table and eat the chips and everything else. I went in a few times, once to get a plate for supper, but mostly to keep filling my water glass. I tried one of the chips, and it was gross (greasy). I also couldn't eat the sandwich roll - I find white bread particularly icky these days. At the same party, there was a woman who had been on the same diet as I was. She was constantly picking at the food. I felt bad for her. Hope you get over the coke soon Jenn |

Way cool. Now as long as you're getting your calcium and doing resistance exercise, the osteoporosis should be reversing itself. "susanjoneslewis" wrote in message .. .

I have definitely noticed that - things that I used to eat and enjoy are too
sweet, to salty, too greasy.... I'm glad that this stuff doesn't appeal to me anymore! det "susanjoneslewis" wrote in message .. .

Huh? Who has osteoporosis? In addition to packing on the weight, causing blood sugar issues, and tooth decay commerical cola soda also contributes to osteoporisis. Its the phosphoric acid. In grad school I had a coworker who was a recovering anorexic. Her psychologist told her to get over hangups about food ( the discipline/reward/denial thing ) by eating whatever hit her fancy. This woman always had a litre bottle of coke glued to her hand. One day, she came into work on crutches. Her foot was broken. She broke in her sleep when she kicked out into the wall. A bone scan revealed osteoporosis ( she was in her early 20's at the time ). Her doctor was good, he found out about her coke habit and got her off of it. Steve |

down for a little while. I feel/felt very lethargic and just bleh. Never again! Do you ever think back on how you used to eat/drink and just say to yourself, "wow, it's a wonder I'm not dead." Not quite. However since I have started measuring calories I have been very impressed with how much I must have eaten when I was younger, exercising a lot, and always unable to get rid of that "last little bit" of fat. I would eat bags of bagles at a sitting. Heaping plates of pasta. I learned a few months that most bagels are 300 calories! That is like half a meal on my current, measured regime.......for a lousy hunk of white bread. Pasta was also a shock. One day I decided to measure out "one serving".....about 280 calories......again, about half of one of my meals. The serving was 2oz dry and I was AMAZED at how little it was. It was just like the dieticians have been saying. You shouldn't eat more pasta then what would fit in the surface area of your fist. Its one thing reading that, it is another thing measuring it out for yourself and seeing how little food that is. If I knew then about what I now about portions/calories I would have been *ripped*.......okay, maybe not ripped, but a whole lot leaner on top of the good shape I was already in. Steve |

I feel/felt very lethargic and just bleh. Never again! Do you ever think back on how you used to eat/drink and just say to yourself, "wow, it's a wonder I'm not dead." Actually, I still like pretty much the same things I always did. I just can't imagine eating nearly the quantity I used to eat. I do find, though, that things that used to really tempt me don't particularly do so anymore unless I'm way over-hungry. I don't feel a lot of guilt about occasionally indulging in a "treat" food, though, as long as I get back on track -- and that hasn't been a problem for me. I drank a small regular coke the morning of my bench meet and liked it okay. I did have ice in it; otherwise I think it may have been too cloying. And it was a fountain coke at McDonald's: I think sometimes they're less sweet. Chris 262/149/ (145-150) |

I wouldn't mind a little more of that. I still love potato chips *because* they are salty & greasy. I remember rejecting a box of Wheat Thins because they weren't salty enough! otoh, the deep fried Monte Cristo sandwich I used to love in Kingston, NY will never cross my lips again, thank God.
