So I am not a huge soda drinker (especially diet, I just can't do it)...but I have been drinking it more frequently. I have decided my goal this week is not to drink ANY, not even in a mixed drink, which doesn't matter because my fave alcoholic drink is Bacardi Limon and water or seltzer and lemon. Every week I will cut out a vice (or at least downsize on that vice) Tell me what is your vice?
:wink:

    High sodium foods. But I'm doing pretty well in controlling it lately...

    soda was mine and I gave that up over a year ago, one of the best things I've ever done.

    now fast food has been harder, I still eat it occasionally but different things than I used to a smaller portions, I want to say I will give it up totally but that's not going to happen. Life without wendys chicken nuggets once a month....pass lol

    I gave up ice cream for fat frozen yogurt and don't miss it at all

    I totally don't miss ice cream compared to frozen yogurt!! That being said I LOVE my ice cream and if its there I will eat it!! But if I buy it , it will be frozen yogurt.
    Luckily I have never been a smoker. Good luck to anyone that has to quit!!!

    I love cake. :sad:

    Cake and ice cream is even better! I am especially sad because this is a relatively new vice of mine. I developed a sweet tooth about 6 months ago. How it happened, I have no clue, but I am NOT liking it!

    ::EDIT:: I just thought of something. You know how if you get sick after eating something you will NEVER eat it again? Maybe I should find a way to have someone sneak me some cake and ice cream that will make me sick. Hmmm....

    Alcohol- quit drinking 25 years, 10 months and 6 days ago, cigarettes – quit 20 years ago, chewing tobacco – quit 15 years ago, over eater (what does being full have to do with it?) - started eating organic foods and quit eating packaged foods three months ago; not exercising - until I was discharged from the cardiac unit at the hospital last week, now I walk every day for 1.5 miles. It’s tough being old, fat and diabetic, but I’m getting better.

    SODA!!! it's my weakness. i drank anywhere from 2-5 a day. i decided this past friday that this week i'm going to cut out soda and fast food...cause i do that too much too. i hate cooking. haha. i used to be tiny when i was in high school, and i think a large part of it was that i never drank soda and i didn't eat out. but now that i don't live at home anymore...i have to take care of myself...and i guess i didn't keep up with that too well. but i'm tired of feeling so "blah." so i'm starting this week...and i'll worry about next week when it gets here. haha. one day down and 6 more to go!! so far i feel great.
