Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks, Dave. I guess this afternoon I was going through a little poor me time. Like everything it passes. I'll get back on track tomorrow. I just tell myself that a little treat is still not as bad as a half gallon of pop. I have not had pop in a week and all of them are still unopened. That is the biggest back sliding thing I could do and I definitely don't want to do that. I am supposed to get the esxercise bike that my father-in-law had and my son needs to pick it up with his friend who has a truck. It is at 's parents' house and I know his mother is never going to use it. I think because I cannot leave and go out walking that at least the bike would give me a chance to work out a little bit.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Personally, I don't think you should go cold turkey. Others may disagree. Go ahead and enjoy a small glass of soda, or as you call it, pop. You need to begin at the beginning. Take some baby steps, slowly begin weaning yourself. If you can make the switch to diet soda, that would help. IN our family, we only drink diet. When our 15-year old son goes somewhere and they only have regular soda, he almost can't tolerate it due to its sweetness. He is totally satisfied with diet soda. Hang in there!
