An interesting thing has occured

Morning all, This is week 3 of my back on track program and I am doing great. Down 9 and a half pounds. The weight seems to be falling off again. I have always been a diet coke addict and continued that addiction again about 6 months after surgery. If I was awake, I had a diet coke in my hand! In the interest of my new lose 50 pounds goal I cut that down to about 2 or 3 a day, the rest of my fluid intake is water, LOTS and LOTS of water. It occured to me this morning during my workout that my sugar cravings, which were terrible are just about gone completely! I can only attribute this to the increase in water and the decrease in diet coke. I do keep south beach diet 100 calorie cookie packs in the house just in case I just HAVE to have something sweet. Just thought I would share. Make it a great day!! 

Actually that's not surprising to me as I've read many times that even diet colas cause cravings.  That's why many doctor's recommend staying away from colas of any kind when you want to lose weight. You're doing great! Keep it up! Deb

I forgot to mention in my post earlier my pouch seems to have shrunk as well!!! I definitely can not hold as much as before!! Yipppeee!
