OOPS...I meant..I Never Thought I'd See The DAY!! I was so excited I wrote it wrong...LOL


WITHOUT even thinking......I am going into the fridge to grab a bottle of water to drink with breakfast, lunch or dinner. I didn't even realize I was doing it until my husband mentioned it to me. You don't understand.....I am not a fan of water..but apparently (deep down) I must know its good for me.
I don't even know the last time I drank soda.

Shh...don't tell anyone, but I even went to a Mexican restaurant the other night and only had WATER...WHAT????????????????? Apparenlty I'm a water addict!!:noway:

What are you doing,eating or drinking now that you NEVER thought you would??????

    I'm like you - I craved diet coke - would drink it all the time - large 32oz sizes at a time. Was having "tummy" aches - went to the doctor - she said I am dehydrated and things stopped moving...how could that be will all the coke I was drinking. Well - I learned about the effect of caffeine that day!

    Anyway - I started drinking water - which I would never drink before. Now, I literally crave it - have to have it...can't believe it tastes so good as it goes down (and it doesn't taste like anything!) It's the best tasting non-flavored item I've ever had...and I can't wait to drink it.

    Water. I used to hardly ever drink water but now I try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I hardly ever drink pop any more either. Good for us! :happy:

    I've been a water drinker for a long time now, but I never thought I could drink coffee or tea without sweetener in it. I've been drinking both unsweetened for a couple of months now. The other day I thought, you know I want my tea sweet - so I put 1 pack of Splenda in it and almost gagged! It was SOOO sweet - and I used to do that all the time. I've pretty much kicked the Splenda habit now, and I never thought I would be able to. Yay for new habits! :drinker:

    It's more of a not eating.... I never thought I'd see the day that I didn't crave a double cheeseburger and fries. I haven't had fast food in 3 and a half months and I think if I ate it now it would make me sick.

    I like to put a slice of cucumber in my water. It tastes so refreshing!

    I firmly believe that drinking the water has eliminated most of my "bad food" cravings. I don't crave crunchy, salty, greasy things, or sweet things all that much either. And that has NEVER happened before. And it's easy to compare myself with my coworkers, who are still having (and caving in to) those cravings. It makes it easier to stay away...


    but coffee, oh how I have missed coffee this week. I'm hoping by next Monday, the coffee craving will be less too.

    i don't crave chocolate or any other sweet thing anymore. this is a big deal for me because before starting mfp, 2/3 of my diet would come from refined sugars.

    I had to go to the store last night because I wouldn't have celery to snack on at work today! That was really all I needed (but of course got more than just that.)

    When I went on a diet before my wedding I got really bored with eating my salad. But this time I don't get bored, I have it almost daily. It's probably because I try to change it up once in a while.

    Woooo!! That is great! Means you are living a healthier lifestyle!

    I drink a ton of water and rarely drink anything else. Once in a blue moon, I will have a soda and it usually doesn't taste very good to me. I mean, I can always do a root beer!! :laugh: But it's too sweet too!

    It really is amazing how you have a wake-up call and realize how much better your body functions with the good stuff you put into it! :flowerforyou:

    I had a similar experience about a year ago. I hated drinking water, even purified water... so I started using the little flavor packets... and after a few months of that, I got tired of it cause it kinda tastes funny after a while... so I started drinking plain water (still purified though- tap water is :sick: ) and actually preferred it that way. althought I didn't start preferring/drinking water over everything else.

    While working I will sit and drink 24 oz at least every two hours. I add the crystal lite flavoring to it though, which is probably cheating. But I had a small bottle of diet soda last night with dinner and realized this morning that I had only taken like 5 sips from it. The cool thing is, with water bottles a plenty in my refrigerator, the kids are sucking them down too and loving it. Health changes all the way around.

    I haven't been at it for very long... but I also find myself drinking water.

    I think the one thing that I find myself doing/enjoying more is using different seasonings for food. My most recent addiction is Tone's Citrus Grill seasoning... a little of that on chicken or even green beans really brings out the flavor!

    I also crave salads... SALADS! What's up with that???
