Coke
i do i was talking with a guy that i work with about that the other day. I
used to eat potatoe chips all the time and chocalate bars. one of my fav things when i worked at a gas station was i'd have a bottle (591ml size) of coke and then a reese peanut butter cup with it. I couldn't eat the peanut butter cups without drinking a thing of coke. i think i must of thught that they tasted even better with the coke then withput. i drank about 6 -7 of those a day 7 days a week. Now when I think back that was alot. I switched to diet pop. But now I drink that much sometimes of it in a day. I worked mid nights and because i don't drink coffee i drank diet coke to keep me awake, and I had 5 of them i was wired for sound by the time the first day staff came in. They thought it was great but i wasn't able to sleep that day until 11 in the morning, anyway, i stopped drinking coke and haven't had any in god must be going on 6 yrs now. I did have one about a month ago and I didn't like the taste and it made me very hyper so no more., i am trying to stop drinking as much diet pop as i do but i am finding it hard to. i guess thats something i will have to work on.

Glad that little experiment is over.. ick. Susan 260/192/140 I know what you mean. Took a sip of DH's drive-through coke and wanted to spit it out. It's been so long since I've had a "regular" soda that it was like downing pure sugar. Blech. Amy |

I still love my extra dark Lindt chocolate bars! det My granddaughter and I stopped at Wendy's after a bike ride recently for something to drink. They had some cookies so I bought a couple. We both took one bite and decided it was just too sweet for us. Before I would have woofed that thing down with no problem. Guess my taste is changing. Beverly |

"Heywood Mogroot" wrote in message om... Now for the past 3 months I've been living on gallon jugs of room-temperature "spring" water from WalMart (50c/each). I never liked the chilled water from dispensers, too hard to drink, but the room-temperature stuff is surprisingly tasty and goes great with my food. I truly don't miss my soda pop any more (I was also a Coke fiend to a lesser extent). I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes my water at room temperature. I'm not sure if it's the taste or simply because I have very sensitive teeth. Ice water can be very painful. Beverly |

I LOVE kettle cooked potato chips. But only rarely, like during picnics and bbq's... Other than my recent *eat 10 Lays dill pickle chips and give the rest to my husband*, I pretty much allow myself a small bag during the Superbowl and another over a weekend while on vacation. There used to be some yummy ones sold at my local grocery store that were 250 calories for the whole bag which seemed like a reasonable treat. They quit selling that size and I wouldn't buy a bigger bag. Solved that temptation. I had a Mrs. Field's cookie from the mall the other day, it was still warm. A co-worker offered it to me, and fresh baked goodies are still a major weakness of mine. But the cookie was total grease and sugar. They don't taste like the cookies that I make! I agree. That's why I make my own Death by Chocolate cookie dough, scoop and freeze it. I can bake one or two VERY worth-it, yummy cookies and know exactly what I'm getting. I guess at this point, if I'm going to splurge on calories and fat, it better taste damned good! I still love my extra dark Lindt chocolate bars! mmmmmmmmmmm, chocolate! -- Walking on . . .

I've never much liked the mall cookies, even when I was fat and eating everything. They are so rich and greasy that I had trouble digesting them. I do still like sweets -- and eat them occasionally -- but not those! You've got me wondering if I'd still even like the Cinnabon's I used crave. I saw them at the mall recently and just shook my head in disbelief at the huge size. I just found some nutrition info online that says the Pecanbon has 1100 calories and 56g of fat!!!!

I've drank diet Pepsi for years even when I wasn't dieting. After drinking diet for awhile I couldn't go back to regular drinks. I know sometimes in the past waitresses wondered why I was drinking a diet drink and some fatting dessert. I never drank any kind of cola until they invented Diet Pepsi. I just figured any calories I saved could be spent elsewhere :-/ -- Walking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 |

I've tasted the regular a few times and find it's just too sweet for my taste. I've heard people say the diet leaves a funny taste in their mouth but I've never noticed. I'd rather have a funny taste in my mouth that extra weight on my hipsg Beverly |

Hark! I heard SnugBear say:

That's probably a good thing, because remember loving them and I have enough carvings to fight. ;-) (Grocery store cakes with crisco frosting always disgusted me) Same here -- I love cake, but only home made, so it's easy to avoid... -- J.J. in WA State - 251/234/150 (Change COLD to HOT for e-mail) |
