Losing weight

[Lorilei]

La Croix is good, Pink. Especially Lime and Berry. It has the carbonation that you probably crave. There's no calories in it and no sodium.

Mind over matter. Losing weight and staying in shape seems to be 95% mental/discipline. Change one bad habit at a time. Make your first goal getting off soda. After you get used to that, set your second goal. Small steps.

Good luck! You can do this!

Mona is wise.

You're right, it is the carbonation that I would miss.



I'll post pics along the way.

I just finished a month without anything carbonated. It was easier than I thought it'd be, I typically had one or two per day for the past three decades. I drank gatorade G2 or unsweet tea and a lot more coffee.

If you hate me so much, why do you even come in here? Just to put me down? You're really something else, you know that.

Hate you? Don't be such a narcissist, holy crap. I am neutral about you, why would I hate? Why are you so important that you would inspire hate in me? I am here because I am passionate about the topic. I feel we in the US have been duped about the food supply so I speak out.

No she isn't. She is pushing low Cal poison.

 

[CandiCame]

I don't drink sugar drinks. I don't want to die blind as pink is going to do. That's just me. I want to keep fucking young boys, keep biking, keep skiing for as long as possible. If it is all the same to you, so be it.

Sweet. Then you can die as the pesticides in your salad slowly poison you. We're all just choosing how we're going to die.

 

[Lorilei]

She's pushing making one small change at a time, which is smart. Pink could easily become overwhelmed with too many changes at once, or going "cold turkey". I believe you probably mean well, but your way is not the only way.

oh yeah, your digs at me are real neutral.


That's great, be passionate. I, personally, don't need your kind of shit.

No pesticides on my salad or any of my veggies....

If you want carbonation but don't want pop, you can actually use brewer's yeast or a carbonation machine. I've done both and the machine's a lot simpler, but I guess the yeast is gonna be better for you somehow. You make it like beer but don't ferment it.

I disagree. Addictions must be cut out at once. She is a sugar addict. Would you tell a crack head to switch to powdered coke for a while first? Of course not.

Then you can die from the microscopic bug shit on your salad that you can't wash off. There is no perfect way to live guys. Get over it. We're all gonna die.

That's the entire point of rehab, lady funk. They wean you off. You absolutely do not cut cold turkey. Depending on the drug your body can go into shock and die. They give BABIES who were born addicted drugs. Because that shit kills people. It's better to give even a small child a law dose rehab plan than to cut cold turkey.

Are you old enough to post here? The limit is 18.

Bullshit. You don't get weaned off coke in rehab. Opiates get you a sub for 3-4 days tops. (unless you go methadone which is just a replacement addiction.) you don't know what you are talking about

If you tried to quit coke cold turkey you have a really high risk of cardiac arrest. I can't imagine a doctor would do that. They won't even do that if it's a high risk pregnancy. They'll wean you off and then wean the baby off. There may be a scenerio out there, somewhere, where you know someone who went cold turkey and didn't die, but that's really, really dangerous.

Methadone is for heroine and the like. Cocain you get a two week kit that gradually knocks you down. You can get 'nocaine' but it's experimental and there's a waiting list. I went through NA. This isn't something you can argue me on.

Don't post a public thread seeking help. Our at least put in the title, "answers by fellow fatties only please, no successful people need apply." you are going blind and can't stand to read the truth... Well soon enough you won't read anything. Right? But you will sleep well at night because people kissed your ass. You need tough answers, not bullshit.

You don't know what you are talking about so... Done. NA isn't detox nor rehab you silly rabbit. Have a good evening, debate the small pups and stop trying to run with the big dogs

Bug shit ain't going to kill ya...

It's true we are all going to die....but saying organic cane sugar is just as bad as aspertaine is about as ridiculous as saying weed is just as bad for you as meth.

Further more "well you're all going to die anyhow" doesn't mean all choices are equal nor is it any sort of justification for choosing the obviously worse choice....sorry...but that's bullshit and I'm calling you on it. Better choices are better.....not just the same as horrible ones because it's all over in about 5 billion years anyhow.

 

[CandiCame]

You don't go strait detox off coke. You have to work on ICSS thresholds, legally. A medical professional can't put you on strait detox. You can choose to do that at home, but you greatly increase your risk for cardiac arrest and I don't advise it. Stop trying to get people to kill themselves and claiming that you're advocating for them. It's unethical.

Guys, seriously. That's really, really dangerous. PLEASE if you ever are addicted to drugs that work by changing the administration pathways of your peripheral nervous system, ESPECIALLY those that bond to muscular rather than lipid proteins, please PLEASE don't try to cold turkey it. I've seen too many people die like that. You can get help, and you can do so anonymously without legal ramifications. Here's a good place to get started: http://www.ca-online.org/. And remember that because of patient confidentiality laws, your doctor is NOT ALLOWED to tell the cops that you're a user unless you're putting your children at risk (there have to be signs of abuse) so please consider working with a medical professional to help wean you off. You don't have to, and in fact shouldn't have to conquer addiction on your own.

Seen too many people die? You are a bald faced liar. Dear God shit the fuck up, you have seen nothing.

I never said that wasn't true, I said it wasn't the focus of the thread. She didn't ask how to get healthy, she asked how to lose weight. I meant that if she was willing to do that at the expense of her healthy, that's her right and we have no right to judge her. Because we're all going to die some day. And Because of that we have no real right to judge other people's decisions about their own lives. If I made that sound argumentative I'm sorry. I'm just in a bitchy mood, I guess. So totally my bad.

Since we are going with full disclosure here I can go through a 2 liter in 2 days.

Wow, it can also eat a hole in your stomach and the caffeine from it can raise your blood pressure. Can you switched to watered down fruit juice or something.

I think it's the carbonation that eats your bones.

Mhm. My sister has rheumatoid arthritis. All she does is drink Coke and barely eats. Well I guess the barely eat part has something to do with it too
