    Yeah it really is a shock...glad you started keeping track so that you know now just how much you were eating. Drinking a lot of soda is a real killer also, just a bunch of empty calories. Tastes good but so not worth it! If I really fancy a soda instead of water, I have to budget it into my calories so it becomes a treat instead of just something to drink because I'm thirsty. That sounds kind of sad lol :laugh:

    Switch to diet soda! People say it's bad for you but when I was on Weight Watchers, they told to me drink diet if I was really craving a soda. The biggest thing is not to drink your calories, and diet soda has zero! Many people also think that orange juice and other juices are healthy, but they are loaded with sugar and calories! Weight Watchers diets don't include juices at all, so I hardly ever drink juice. There are plenty of other options that have the vitamins that juices do. And Crystal Light has always helped me drink more water.

    Just a tip :bigsmile:
