R.I.P. Diet Soda......10 lbs to Puerto Rico

I got on the scale this morning. Once again over my "unacceptable" weight. It might have had something to do with the fact I ate so much Rosatti's Chicago Style deep dish last night I wanted to puke and then pass out. I was uncomfortably full and still trying to shovel bites in my mouth. What is wrong with me? Anyways, I woke up this morning and did my usual "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" speech to myself. Then it hit me. I really, really enjoy food with soda. Sometimes I think I cannot eat something unless I have a soda with it. I drink soda with breakfast food even. I have always thought this an ok practice since I only drink diet soda. Diet soda has 0 calories, so what harm am I doing (keep in mind, I care nothing about the fact that soda eats away tooth enamel, etc--I only care if it will make me fat)?

So that's what I'm going to try to do....cut out the diet soda. I am already certain the act of eating will lose all joy. There is something magical about washing down a mouthful of Mexican food with a crispy, tingling, cold, refreshing diet soda. I am really sad just thinking about it. I would like to put a disclaimer on this--the idea is only about 5 hours old so if you see me drinking a soda, do not be surprised. I reserve the right to back out of this at any time. For now though, I think it will be effective in dropping some lbs.

I also have decided the second I lose 10 lbs, I will be booking a tropical vaca with Ms. Fine. I cannot wait. Peurto Rico perhaps? We both have credits for a free one way from Ghettotran so we need to go somewhere they fly. They have traded their Bahamas service for Puerto Rico, so it's looking like a definite possibility. Now it's just these pesky 10 lbs I must drop before I can book. Hopefully we'll make it there before the end of the year--just kidding Jess--hopefully it won't take that long! Maybe I'll use some of my tax return $$ for a few personal training sessions? Until next time folks......
