    LOL. True story. We CAN do it. We have to stop being so impatient.

    My biggest vice is SODA. I am trying my darnest to give that crap up. What about you guys?

    I was never much of a soda person.. and chocolate used to be a big problem... but now its the convenient fast food that's my demon... especially if I miss my bus and have to wait another 30 mins and there's like a burger king right behind me.. the horror

    Drinking & being lazy have been my latest down fall, which I find hanging out & drinking leads to sitting around being lazy...

    Me too all. I want to lose 40 lbs. I love wine. I know drinking and dieting are no no's. It's the weekends that kill me. I workout right now 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I know that is not near enough if I really want to drop pounds. Oh, and I seem to want to eat like my husband and son can !

    I haven't had a soda since Monday & I happen to.....well....LOVE SODA! So I am doing pretty good. I have been keeping a 32oz water bottle full at all times which seems to help a little & I'm getting my water for the day after just 1 refill. I love wine & beer as well, how many glasses of wine could you allow yourself a week to still stay healthy? Anyone know?

    Thanks everyone! and I hear ya! Taco Bell is the reason that I gained so much weight. It's addictive.

    I keep a 24oz water bottle with me and drink two full bottles of it per day, I need to start drinking more though. I find myself eating taco bell like once a week though. Shame on me.

    and let me tell you, I have NO support system at home, meaning that my boyfriend eats crap and soda and looks good and won't not eat it around me so... I can't resist the urge to get something from TB when he does. LOL

    I don't believe in not having the things you love. I say, drink it in increments or drink it once a week. You're allowed to have a chill/Eat a little bit of junk day. But only a little! lol

    loool thats the worst!! it's horrible to try avoiding eating something when its right in ur face and u can smell it... hmm who was it that said a small glass of red a day is good and i totally agree about not getting rid of everything u love... its a sad truth that food is literally our lives... what is the gist of what we do, eat and sleep lol so if food becomes boring... i think life would be just that little bit worse
