A discovery...

First off my weight was about the same as yesterday..162.4 or .2.

I learned a few things yesterday that were quite interesting. One is that I'm going to drink Diet Pepsi very sparingly, if at all. I do enjoy it, it is no calorie but it gives me cravings. Yesterday afternoon I had some serious cravings..for what I don't really know. I just drank a ton of water and told myself it would pass. So I did a web search on "Diet soda dangers". Besides them being chemical laden the other thing mentioned again was the cravings. People who drink diet soda and think they are going to loose weight usually don't because of the cravings and chemicals.

The other thing was I'm going to watch my intake of sugar alcohols and splenda. Again besides the chemical factor Splenda is really sugar that's been chlorinated, like chlorine bleach, like what you put in a pool! Ack. Do I really want to put that in my body??

On the Atkins message board I put up a few things that was concerning me. Mostly the fact that I can't ever have chocolate again or Frappuchinos makes me a little sad. That I would like to think on down the road, some day when I reach goal I could have one ever now and then. Some people told me once you get to goal the same things just don't appeal to you. The want is there but you know what it took you to get where you are at. Some people can and do indulge every now and then. Its a matter of knowing yourself. Really chocolate and my lack of restriction with it and Frappuchinos is what got me where I am. I think I would like looking hot more than drinking a Frappuchino anyhow.
