I Caved and Drank Soda...

One of my immediate goals is to eat healthier and drink more water, and to totally avoid soda. Well today, I caved and got myself a Coke Zero. Granted, it's got no calories and no sugar, and granted I did not even make finish the bottle (I saved in the fridge in the break room), but still it's not healthy and full of sodium. I was a little stressed at work today and no drink is cutting it for me: not water with flavor enhancer, not plain water, not green tea, not coffee, not hot cocoa. I tried to avoid temptation by leaving my coin purse at home since I am just 10 feet away from the vending machines. And yet during my lunch break I went to a store, and used my credit card to buy a bottle. My lunch wasn't healthy as well. I had one of those instant noodles. Ugh, I feel terrible after eating it. I guess it has to be healthy dinner for us tonight. I'm planning baked chicken, sautéed mung bean and steamed rice. I am not addicted to soda by all means, but there are times that when the want for it kicks in I gotta have one. What are your irresistible, unhealthy ways?

Good for you! I had a college friend who never drank soda in her life. She is a big girl and yet her tummy is flat.

I still like my diet soda and haven't had much luck giving it up

It's a struggle for me to give it up. I thought I was doing good for a while but then I will make a u-turn.

I have the same one-soda. It has been my weakness for years. I don't know that I will ever give it up completely but plenty of times I have cut back a lot. I hate water because it has no taste-and the flavors are not sweet enough that you can put in the water.

I'm the same, I get tired of the taste of water, that there was one incident I almost got sick. I don't know but whoever invented soda really got the formula down pat.

I'm not bothered about soda, but chocolate is my downfall.

Then I'm in trouble because chocolates are also in my list!
