I have made a decision for me. I am giving up all pop and fast food. I’ve wanted to lose weight for quite some time now…haven’t really done much about it though. I’ve made lots of excuses about my knees, which yes I have bad knees. Yes they dislocate on me whenever they feel like it, but there was also that old guy on The Biggest Loser who had bad knees as well and look how well he has done. So no more excuses. I am taking the first step and that step for me is to give up pop and fast food.
I don’t need fast food. Especially after reading this article about a year old Happy Meal. I don’t think anyone will be eating fast food after reading this. The only “fast food” I will be eating is Subway…lets face it, we all have moments when we just have to eat out…my “fast food” of choice will now be Subway.
The other thing I am giving up is pop. I literally CRAVE pop. Today was my first day not drinking any pop and let me tell you, it was pure hell. We went to Coney Island with my mother in-law for lunch and I so badly wanted to order a pop. But I didn’t. I drank water. But it was hard. I love fountain pop. Well…that is until this little article appeared in my facebook inbox. I don’t think I will be drinking fountain pop again. Blech.
I did 40 days of water over lent – it was very hard in the beginning, but now drinking soda is almost physically impossible. The bubbles feel like they are burning my throat!
I gave up soda a few years back and it's definitely made a difference 🙂
