cutting pop and snacks....my helpful start!

[Rubber Nubbies]

okay if ya want a quick run down check out my intro in the intro thread biggrin okay so here we go

hey im manda and ive been haveing some weight problems, not as bad as some but still, so one day i decided i HAD to do something, so i decided to give up pop.

Now most of us know that when you have a pop, you tend to grab a munchie, which typically isnt carrot sticks. and i found that out quick.

To begin this weight loss, i cut ALL pop, no diet pop, no super okay pop, NONE. so with cutting my pop, i also cut my snacks.

if i was hungry i would have a large glass of water, now its said that sometimes when you are hungry you are actually thirsty. im one of those kids that was like "yeah...sure" then i started just drinking water and it was true, most of the time i just needed some water, and if you can't take normal water by non carbonated flavored water, or even lightly carbonated is okay (just watch for hidden sugars).

So thats my jump start diet...switch from pop to water and snacks tend to just follow, but if you need stop buying snacks that are junky, or ask your mom or dad to stop buying them, then it can help motivate your whole family or keep the younger siblings healthy.

okay thats my thing if you have questions just post here or if its personal feel free to pm me, my pms are open to everyone biggrin

good luck and keep it up

There's a big "argument" in the US over whether they're pop or soda. *L* It's silly but some people get really into it.

I'm mostly giving up soda by the way. I think I'll allow myself one or two a week, probably on weekends since that's when my boyfriend and I tend to go out to eat. I'm not totally giving up snacks though, I mean it's just after Easter. *L* I wasn't expecting to get a crapload of Easter candy but I did!
