Soooo.... - Page 1160

Since summer began, I can't drink hot coffee in the morning, so I found myself grabbing Diet Coke (the brand new one in the blue can with vitamins & minerals, even though I'm sure they just grind up one Flintstones chewable and mix it in to the entire vat.

) then, I began grabbing Coke when Diet Coke wasn't available. This lasted for about 3 weeks until I was so disgusted with myself for knocking back too much soda pop. I just felt guilty and gross.

I know lots of people who drink scads and they look and feel great! More so then I could ever hope to! Soda just isn't my personal bag.

So, I switched back to ice tea and ice water. I love apple juice, too.

Coke at the movies or with a Bob's Big Boy combo? Mmm..nothin' better! But waking up and practically gargling with it is kinda grody.

I don't drink 4 cokes (or any sodas) in a month!

I used to drink a lot of regular Coke (and like Erica’s teacher, it was only Coca Cola). I tried quitting for a long time. I can’t stand aspartame (makes everything taste like aspirin), so Diet Coke wasn’t an option. I tried going cold turkey, and just drink lots of water; but it never satisfied me. I craved Coke horribly. Then I started drinking flavored Arrowhead sparkling water. That did the trick! I discovered that it was the carbonation I craved! I drink 2-3 big bottles of it every day. Now, when I’m at work, I’ll buy a can of Coke from the vending machine in the morning and only take a couple of sips. The rest stays on my desk, untouched, for the rest of the day. I’ll also sometimes order a Coke to drink when out at a restaurant. That’s it, I never drink Coke at home.

I used to live on Mt. Dew in high school. Probably a 6pk a day. Good thing I was a swimmer.

Look Ma! No cavities

In the last couple of years, I have just lost my appetite for Coke. Even taking a sip is "bleh". I drink gallons of iced tea, especially at lunch (a couple of my regular places used to automatically bring me my own pitcher - they were initially surprised that I would drink the whole thing solo).

If I do have a carbonated beverage, it is usually root beer. Some things are just better with root beer (pizza for example, MUST come with root beer).

Just to validate you, and truly put this into perspective, being a largish person, with a fancy for cherry coke...

Regular Coca-cola is 97 calories per 8 oz
A can is 12 oz.
(for cherry the way it works is 104 for 8oz, and a can is 150 calories.)

So lets assume that regular is 140 a can...
Thats 582 calories in that four cans.

your 800 calories a day is actually low.

Black coffee is actually better.
