Beverages & Sugar Snacks

Hi Everybody!

I've been MIA for quite a while due to personal issues. Unfortunately, I've regained just under 65 lbs. I'm climbing back on the wagon again This time, I want to reach goal and stay there. 

I have a major addiction to sugar, especially Sprite and Hershey's chocolate. I know it won't be easy to come off of the sugar but I'm determined to do it. I'm not typically a person who drinks water. In fact, I don't really care for it although I know it's necessary. Can someone please suggest beverages that I can drink besides Sprite? I'm ok with tea but I'd like to have something fruity or similar to Sprite. Also, if you can make suggestions of items that I can substitute for Hershey's, I will greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

How about crystal lite.  It's a great way to get in you water.  There are so many favors to choose from.  Good luck and welcome back.

I'm not someone who can give up things cold turkey, if I was then I'd be doing the 5 day pouch test to decarb myself and move along. I have to do things in baby steps. I'd switch to Diet Sprite or Sprite Zero and ration out maybe 3 Hershey Kisses or minature bars for the day. My Mother in Law doesn't like Water either and is admittedly a Sprite fanatic so she mixes the sprite half and half with water. She says it's the taste and not the carbonation that she misses.

Good Luck!!!

Thank you, Iris!! What a novel idea of mixing Sprite with water! I imagine it wouldn't take too long before I'd be totally off Sprite because it will lose it's appeal!! Also, I'm gonna do the Hershey Kiss suggestion. Together, I'll be able to wean myself off of the sugar!!

Thank you so much! 

Meant to sign my name! Ha!

Thanks again!
