[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 238831, member: 1991"] What about switching the available cola bottle, to one that is sugar-free? That way you still have the taste of your favourite tipple, but without the calories. It IS a good diea to drink a lot of calorie-free fluid when you're hungry or wanting a snack. The liquid fills you up, often you think you're hungry when you're really only thirsty, and we don't drink enough anyway. Something to motivate you - I was with mother in law shopping today (we were looking for a new TV for her) and as we were going from one store to another, we walked past a clothing store. Now, I never went into this place because they never had anything in my size. But I saw a denim vest that I liked so I went in to check it out. A sales assistant (older lady) came up to me. "Can I help you?" I told her I was looking at the vest, she offered to get one down for me. "What size are you?" she asked. I said, "You'd better get me a 16." "Oh no," she said. "You're quite small, a 16 would be too big." So she got me a 14 which WAS too small as I expected. The 16 was the right fit, but I was so tickled when she said, "You're quite small," and even more tickled that I could buy something off the rack from a standard dress shop. (a note - Aussie sizing is different) I had to lose the weight for the sake of my health. Looking good - forget it. Not important. Not possible. I'm too old now. But I've been amazed at just how much better I look. I'm also delighted in how much more freely I can move, how much better I sleep (that was greatly improved after losing only 5 Kg) and the really interesting thing - how much better I'm treated by other people. Which is wrong, people should show you respect regardless of your appearance, but I do find big differences. I got one of my fat photos and stuck it on the fridge door. Alternatively, you could get a sketch of you looking thin, on the fridge door. Whatever you feel will work. You do need to find something you can have, when you get the munchies. For me, I go get another serve of my "magic muesli". Or a serve of prunes. Or a big drink of my calorie-free iced coffee. You find what works for you. You WILL get the munchies and yo do need to do something about it other than denial. If you 'fall off the wagon' then don't fret. Just pick up and get going again, don't look back. Marg [/QUOTE]
