Resisting temptation

Tweet

I never wanted to believe that by cutting soda out of your diet you could lose a great deal of weight. Recently I discovered how true this is. I had strep throat and tonsilitus, so the ONLY thing I could drinkw was ice cold water. It felt sooo good on my throat and tonsils. From being sick for a week and only consuming water to quench my thirst I lost 7 pounds. Unfortunately, as soon as my throat was feeling better, I reached for a nice cold glass of Pepsi. Since i reached for that one cold glass of Pepsi I cannot stop drinking it again (I always say Pepsi is my form of crack lol if I had to pick one thing to consume for the remainder of my life, Pepsi would be it!!)! I find water to be so bland and boring. How do you resist the urge to grab a cold glass of soda and drink water instead? I grab the pepsi without even thinking, and realize after I drank it all, that I should not have drank it! All the sugar and carbs in the Pepsi are killing my weight loss progress, but it so hard for me to stop drinking! Changing my eating habits was easier for me than resisting that nice cold Pepsi. What suggestions do you have? How do you resist your biggest temptation that slows down your weight loss?
