I did it. I went grocery shopping and didn't by a SINGLE item of junk food. No cookies even though they were BOGO. Not a bag of chips. No ice-cream bars... nothing! Just veggies, meats, and staples.

I'm really proud of myself (even if it doesn't seem like a big deal) because I know I'm on the right road. =D

Edit to add: I've also been on strictly water for three days now. :) I cut soda out two weeks ago, and tea out three days ago. :)

    Keep up the good work! Gotta keep the right frame of mind as well. Just tell yourself, you can do it, you can do it!

    Good for you! I know the feeling of standing strong against things we shouldn't have. Today I bypassed many fast food temptations and managed to order just a diet Coke at McD. Keep strong!

    That's good. When you eat healthy low cal foods you have to eat more to make sure you get in all of your calories.
    Good Job. I am going grocery shopping wed. I am going to see what I can do to do the same thing. The kids will probably want to kill me but they need to eat healthier too.

    Divorcing soda is a hard break-up! But it's totally worth it when you realize how much better off you are without it. Your energy level is going to shoot through the roof! YOU GO! *lol*
