Kim's Diet Coke to Water challenge

[Kim&Leah]

Better than a treat night takeaway I guess!!

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

lol,i have the entire day off.. so im really not to judge!

 

[lurverick]

omg have you always had the day off fern??
sometimes i think about having a naughty night after weigh in.....but ive never dared!

 

[Sparky67]

I was addicted to diet coke and was drinking loads of it - I started by switching gradually to the caffiene free (so I gave up the caffiene without having to give up the habit too), then have it up altogether.

Can't touch the stuff now - it just tastes foul.

It is a pain when you're out as many places only stock diet coke and not other fizzy diet drinks.

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

Yep, all the way through. when i first started, id just have the eve of Wi off, so id weigh, and then have cheesy chips with meat on top, and a desert of some variet after.. or a takeaway of some kind..

then the more i loss i started picking more so through the day,.. and now i ahve the entire day off.. i actually find my losses are crapper when i dont have it off, and becos i dont have the blow out, i struggle all week.


so now, i have chocolate cereals for breaky, even stop at shop on way to work and get a few bars... have bakery for lunch.. and then dont eat past 1 as usual ! .. to prove that it doesnt hurt, the week i lost 6lb at Wi, i'd had apple crumble for lunch! .. and then i did the same the week after and still lost 2.5!

 

[lurverick]

ooo my god! now im tempted...very tempted.......naughty fern!!!!!

dont think i could bring myself to cheat fully....and not before weigh in,maybe a little treat after wi but tempted to have a cake and slice from greggs on tuesdays(day after).dont know wether i will though...i think im programmed to be good now it feels so wrong to think about not!!

Kim I am reading your thread like this >

So glad you are giving up the coke. You must have been wired to the moon with all that caffiene!

Well done and keep up the good work!

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

oh, you soon appreciate a day off. My theory is, i eat whatever the hell i like all day wed (within reason before WI of course, as in it has to be 'physically light', so no big macs haha)


becos im focused all week then. If i were to have somthing naughty the day after, my whole week would be chaos.

 

[Juliewoo]

Errr Fern, did you say you don't eat past 1pm? is that just on weigh days?

xxx

 

[Kim&Leah]

I caved in I got given a 6 pack at 5pm last night and they were gone by 10am this morning
BUT.. at least I didn't buy them. And it's still 3 days until weigh day :/

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

Errr Fern, did you say you don't eat past 1pm? is that just on weigh days?

xxx

oh god yeah, only one WI day, as i weigh in at 6:30..

i eat continuesly any other day LOL dont you worry x

 

[delleh]

Oh Kim, who bought you them and can we slap them? ;o)
How ar you feeling for drinking it as to not drinking it, did it taste better/different?

And as for cheat i WI at 9:30am and have it as my cheat day LOL x

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

awww no kim! what happened mate!

 

[Kim&Leah]

I feel like I've cheated really bad! My mum fetched them over and I was like a kid in a sweet shop!
It tasted goooood lol but today's a new day

 

[jaylou]

Stick with it hun. One little relapse isn't going to do that much damage. Just carry on with the very good work. You CAN do this. xx

 

[Chicaloca]

Kim, has anyone suggested Caffine Free coke?

 

[funcurls]

Ya know what? I'm going to hop onboard too! I don't drink tons and tons, and already drink quite a bit of water, but I do wonder what it's really doing to our insides!! I get the odd breakout of spots and it would be interesting to see if it makes a difference!X

 

[delleh]

Good Luck Kim! Naughty Mum!

 

[Safia]

I was totally addicted to the normal coke but after a week of having non i dont seem to miss it and probably wont like it. My skin has cleared up a lot since i stoped x

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

greedy me ...i am also a pepsi max /diet pepsi cola addict..i used to drink a full 2 litre bottle of full sugar cola a day but then switched it to diet[was worried i had diabetes but was given the all clear and i need to lose weight..] ..i try to limit myself to 2 l of diet fizzy drinks a day...i keep aiming to give it up..today i had 830 mls ...am aiming to have no more for the day and none tommorrow[was initially planning to have 750 mls bottle of pepsi max and then 500 mls and wean off but this thread has made me think again

i meant to ask at my last bone scan can fizzy drinks wreak your bones?[ i have bad bones for my age [28 1/2] due to poor diet, history of bulimia, beign lazy and a rare medical condition but nothing too bad nevertheless if they knew the amount of fizzy drinks] but didn't i may ask at the next one and what is a safe level of diet fizzy drinks for your bones?

i feel so guilty and greedy[yet that makes as likely as not to say to myself..of what the hell i will have something nice/ unhealthy

i am finding it difficult as i am also trying to work on my diet/ losing weight[counselling helped me a bit with portion sizes but i still have to lose weigth and eat more veg etc] and watch my finances [i cut up my credit card but have not got the savings i should] and trying to do it all has me stressed

wish me luck
