    Stupid girls

    They miss you too.

    Sincerely,
    Smart Women

    p.s. I miss sitting on my butt, eating Doritos straight out of the bag, drinking coke and watching tv.

    OP, if you like Mountain Dew (which tastes remarkably like urine), why give it up? Anything in moderation.

    Well, if she's anything like me, there is no moderation with Mt. Dew; it's all or nothing.

    Nothing entirely...but I limit a lot of stuff I used to consume regularly and in mass quantities:

    - Soda (used to be 3-6 (12 Oz) per day...now maybe one 12 Oz every couple weeks or so)

    - Chili Cheese Dogs at the Dog House down town (about 1,300-1,500 calorie lunch there once per week...now, maybe once per month when I take my kiddo to the zoo)

    - Lay's potato chips (easily 1 large bag every couple days...now, maybe one serving per week)

    - New Mexican food (pretty much two to three times per week out at one of the gazillion NM restaurants here in ABQ, at about 1,600 calories a pop...now, about once per month)

    - Chips and Salsa - Frequent lazy weekend lunch would be about 4 servings of chips and salsa with 1/4 Lb of cheddar and a pint of whole milk...now, a serving or so when we're out eating NM food)

    - Cheese (I used to eat 1/4 Lb plus per day...now I have maybe 1/2 oz to and 1 Oz a couple times per week)

    - Whole milk (actually have cut this out...used to drink 1/2 gallon whole milk per day...now about 8 Oz 1% per day)

    Why on earth would you do that? Coffee is very good for you. Has antioxidants, almost zero calories, and some other health benefits. Bacon is life. Fast food and restaurants don't have to be high cal just like home cooked doesn't have to be low: just be pickier. I understand the last three, though small amounts are no big deal.

    Really? Think about it. Do you REALLY miss that feeling?

    Dr. Pepper!

    I will drink a Diet Cherry Coke occasionally, but I just cannot justify drinking calories very often.

    Another thing is PIZZA. I still have homemade, healthier kinds sometimes though to get my fix!

    I can't just drink one regular cup, it has to be 4 tbsp of brewed ground coffee per 8oz and I drink one 40oz with lots cream in the morning and another one around 2pm, it made my heart pound. Eating out means I can't control how much sugar and fats they put in the food (I'm diabetic) Sooo yeah, I'm that type where it's all or nothing. There's no such thing as a happy medium =(

    Toast in the morning
    ^^This. My pre-breakfast breakfast. And sometimes post-breakfast snack. And afternoon snack. Love toast. Now I have it very occasionally (say, after a workout) with some peanut butter.
