I am seriously addicted to diet coke, its my stress releaver and as soon as i get stressed i start obsessing about it, wanting (i initially typed needing it lol but that is not true) it etc. It will get to the point that if i don't have any at home and didn't stop at the store, i would order pizza just to get the diet coke and then would end up eating the pizza. Once i get the diet coke addiction under control, i usually have to go cold turkey and like above i keep making excuses as there's always tomorrow to start or once i finish this bottle. a suggestion...give yourself permission to have all the diet coke you want, but make a promise that before you pop a top you will drink a 12oz glass of water. It might make a huge difference. That's a good idea. My downfall is sugar and someone else said this already, but on days I work out more vigorously I allow myself a little bit more of that sugar/ chocolate. I also hide things from myself because every once in awhile I go on a bad frenzy and tear the cupboards apart looking for chocolate it's like a little mini SURPRISE and I get a treat, but don't over indulge. Yep, it is a good idea...I am also a frustration and comfort eater at times....however, during one involvement with one guy last year I lost 12 kg between september and december with just reducing chocolate and coke to once a week...over the time I even did not like the taste for coke anymore and only finished it off as I know that I used to like it...so at some weeks I then did not buy it in the first place. Was an amazing experience for me...we also had the agreement to try to drink 2 liter water per day...not coke, not juice, nope water pure...I managed this often as I simply had my 2liter water bottle anyway and aimed to have it empty in the evening. In general I used to be slim until my early 20s as my family always was active with skiing in winter, bike tours in the summer and attending to many sports clubs in the evening...however, after my first apprenticeship my work environment wasn't great and I felt the need to focus even harder on work and to neglect my sport (I used to go to sport 3-5 evenings a week at that time)...and from there I lost the track to it but aim to get back to it once my studies are over (I do have my nintendo wii as well, to get a little bit back to it but something always crawls up once I have time and even space in my chaotic flat to do it, such as a severe cold or my tooth extraction or my knee flares up...something is always at the moment, once I would be able to do it). But apart from that I lost once 18kg in one year (in 2000) when I was just not eating after 6pm. So ate and drink all what I usually did but after having dinner around 6pm that was it....in case I got hungry I had something light such as yoghurt or a tomato or apple or so... At the moment I started with the lemon-detox programme which works fine for me (though I have days where I don't comply properly to it when simply my essay hassle gets too much or when I am need something to wake up more - e.g. when I am at placement after my nightshift then I sometimes need my sugar boost when I have to attend a meeting). That one I want to keep doing for the next while and try to do it rigorously about one week per month the next while...I lost 5kg since I am on it but of course would have succeeded more if I would not do night shifts and if I could cope better when I am stressed out. Nevertheless, I like it and got used to the taste and aim to shred 20kg by between March-May next year when I potentially meet Mr. A again (not just because of him, as it does not bother him, but meeting him then again does help a bit in regards to staying motivated).
