on my way

Be careful as diet pop has artificial sweeteners in it that can contribute to hunger. An idea is to limit it. I dont drink more then 2-3 per week as an example. A personal trainer told me tricks your body because its artificial and when your body "realizes" it didnt get what it thought it did, contributes to hunger. A perfect example is the non hunger stimulating choice would be a small dish of regular ice cream over a weight reduction one or light, fat free, etc. From my own trial I have found this to help BIG time. Thanks and good luck in your reduction of pop intake as I live with all pop addicts, lol. =) Have a great night.

Thanks this helped. I have found journaling to help as well but I seldom commit to it. My daughter and I went on a fast for lent and I felt so good, lost weight and felt full all the time. Since Easter though, I can't believe how letting some sugar back in just has opened the door to feeling hungry all the time, feeling fat (and gaining weight back) and now I feel lazy and hurt all over. New resolve today. Healthy intake. Skip sugar and all sweets until I get this thing back under control. I refuse to give up and gain back all I lost. Tired of clothes not fitting, being tired, aching.
