I knew going into this that my biggest problem was going to be the soda issue. I crave sodas so bad that it literally makes my head hurt when I don't have one. I know it is my body detoxing but seriously I am not sure what is worse - having a high fructose corn syrup Cherry Coke or pumping my stomach full of pain killers to take away the headache. Either way it's going to kill me - right? Well, I guess not.... I know this detoxing part is temporary and I need to get past this to get to my goal. It's just so hard when you love starting your day with a cold soda instead of a hot cup of coffee... or worse water! Just to let you know now I hate drinking water. I especially don't like paying for water. I cannot justify buying a bottled water for $1.50 when I can get a coke for that price. At least the coke has ingredients in that justify my purchase.
So I guess my mentality is the first thing that needs to change. I need to break free from this soda addiction and start making healthy choices. I once read somewhere that if a person quits drinking soda they could lose up to 15 pounds in one year without making any other changes. Crazy huh? I will believe it when I see it on my own body!

Liz, I found that the sodas really affected my gallbladder Pain....max lotsa other things!!!! I have tea instead now...it's natural (if u make it) n u can gradually cut back on sugar consumption which u probably know is a huge weight loss barrier...increase ur veggies and eat every three hours protein/veggies....and stop eating at least 3 hrs before bed....Brian literally had his watch set to alarm every 3 hours!! Egg whites, a slice of toast....1/2 apple with almond butter....brown rice, steamed veggies, grilled chicken breast....a cheese stick...a grilled chicken salad...this is a sample of eating....it's all in the p90x book....u have to "feed ur body" to lose....key is feeding it the "right" stuff!!!
