So I have come to the conclusion that I
might be starting to have an addiction problem. I roll out of bed in the morning and
chug from the 2l jug pour a glass of Diet Pepsi to drink with my Kellog's Special K Red Berry waffle, everyone else drinks coffee for their morning caffeine boost, so why can't I drink a Diet Pepsi? I return to the bottle several times through out the day.
Come to think of it, I return to the waffles several times through out the day too. I decided I was probably drinking more soda than a person really needed to
unless that person is JC, in which case just hook up the IV it will save many trips back and forth to the kitchen and also the constant flow guarantees your safety, because when actual blood flows through his veins he gets kinda cranky! , so I decided NO more soda. I decided that I should probably drink milk with my waffle like normal people do and have more water and maybe some juice when I needed a little pick me up. Man, I turned into a ...well lets just say I was
not a nice person to be around. I decided to gradually wean myself off the soda slowly
for the safety and well being of those around me and while I was at it I should probably start eating something other than those waffles for breakfast before I got addicted to those too... ahh who are we kidding, it was too late for that too. I needed to set some guidelines like, pour my soda into a cup, no more sneak chugging from the bottle (before you get all grossed out btw, I am the ONLY person who drinks that soda. I do NOT share my soda
yet another sign that I might just have a problem!) I decided that I could fill my special (12oz) glass with soda twice a day.
I thought I was doing good until, and here is where it gets shady...I noticed that when I would pour JC a glass of Dr. Pepper, some how before I could get it from the kitchen to the office, I would have to go back and refill it
two or three times. Now, I had to ask myself, does this count? I only filled
my special glass twice a day, I did not chug -a- lug from the jug, I am following my guidelines. Isn't it like when you are counting calories and while you are clearing the table you just kinda nibble the left overs ...those calories don't count because you did not actually put them on
your plate right? My BFF Melissita assures me they don't count, but my Weight Watchers coach says they do. Dang it! So right about the time I came to the realization that I was probably not doing a great job weaning myself off the diet soda or dieting for that matter, I got sick. I went days with nothing more than water and a handful of pretzels.
Until my food addiction kicked in and we did Mauricios. But, I realized that I had a good jump start on my problem! Yea me! Then my other BFF Angela brought me a Vitamin Water to help me feel better. Now guess what? You guessed it! I am hooked on Vitamin Water. I have kicked the soda habit and traded it for a higher calorie, sugar filled water. But hey, it is full of vitamins! Listen to the crazy addict lady justify her addiction!
Oh, and yes, I started W.W
. again because I am an addict! I am addicted to food, I am addicted to sugary 1%juice waters with vitamins, I am addicted to frozen waffles, I am addicted to cinnamon bears, Sour Patch Kids, Yorks and Milk Duds, chocolate donutettes and sausage MrGriddles. And being addicted to those things has the fat cells addicted to my bum, and they are breeding and multiplying folks! It's not good. 1 pound down
before I ate a half a bag of Doritos, a jelly donut and two Vitamin Waters 19 pounds to go! Now if I could just get addicted to exercise!

I started changing my diet this year and it is NOT fun. When everyone in my office goes to Pizza Hut or McDonalds or some local mexican restaurant, it's so hard to sit in the office for my lunch hour and munch on apples and drink water... one thing I found that is slowly helping me quit pop is those little sugarless flavor packets you pour into a 16 oz bottle of water... they might cause cancer but they don't have any sugar!
How are you feeling?

Hey woman! My sister told me how to find your blog- she stumbled across it. Didn't see you at church on Sunday- I am in town again for a few days (week or two???) to have another kid. Hopefully soon. Impossibly uncomfortable and fat. We still think about you guys and wonder how you are doing, and get occaisional reports from my mom. We are so busy trying to get a stinkin' house built it's not even funny! Can't wait for life to slow down in a year or two. Maybe I'll see you soon, and if not, that's okay too because you and JC are two people we will always be friends with. We just pick up where we left off. (My favorite kind.)
