    Day 553 and the struggle continues to be real.
    Let's do it folks, support each other (even you keto people) and let's celebrate our successes. . . one avoided soda at a time.

    Just had a thought re the lemon / lime idea - you can get "infuser" water bottles where you put the fruit in the middle infuser bit and just fill the bottle up with water like normal. You could use the same bottles for a mix of Coke / Diet Coke, and add the lemon or lime.

    Just keep logging even when over calories. After a few weeks you’ll find something to try swapping out for a lower calorie choice. Don’t try to change everything at once. Taking your time with small changes will help you be more successful.

    Eating more protein likely will help you feel more satisfied. I personally did not like the texture of Greek yogurt but over time have grown to like a few flavors. I also like to mix plain Greek yogurt with sugar fee pudding mix to make s high protein snack/dessert. I try to add fresh fruit or vegetables to each meal to help fill me up as well. I often will Google Weight Watchers or Skinnytaste recipes to get ideas for different things to try. And I keep a stash of lean cuisine frozen dinners in hand for days when I don’t want to think.

    Water - I had a hard time with this at first. Drinking with a straw helped me drink more. I also like to squeeze a lime wedge in the water to give it a little flavor.

    Some great ideas here that I'll borrow, thank you! You also reminded me of sugar-free jelly/jello - processed of course, but a good option for the munchies when you're out of calorie allowance!
