Since starting here at DT the weight has not changed much yet, but I have noticed this last week one big change which I think I can be proud of.
Everyone here raves about drinking water, and although I have been trying to drink it, I have not been drinking enough by any means. Really been finding it difficult to drink the water on it's own, so have settled for a weak squash mix, mostly water but with a bit of squash(is it squash in America?, like a syrup to add to water, but it is sugar free, and I hardly use any, just enough to taste)for a while til I can get used to plain water more.
Anyway, before starting with the water drinking I also drank diet soda in lots of different flavours, strawberryade being one of my favourites.
So last week I put a bottle in the fridge to cool, then poured myself a large glass and took a big drink. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! It was so sweet and sickly I nearly gagged! The whole bottle went straight down the sink!
So am I right in saying that is one habit changed for the better? I think so!
I am still aiming to change to the straight water guys, I promise, but I am doing it like everything else, baby steps, and I've definitely made more than one baby step from the diet soda to the water and squash!
That is such a big thing for me!

------------------

yes, water is very important. i think i'll go have a glass right now. glug, glug.

hi baby,
that is a great step in the right direction,and one you deserve to be proud of!
i always fill my 2 litre bottle of water and wade my way through it during the day. i always carry a water bottle with me too. caitlin(3) has started taking hers everywhere also to be like her mum!
hugs belinda :D

What good news Baby!
I figure that if I flood my body with water, maybe, just maybe I won't gorge it with too much food. Happy drinking!

------------------

yay for baby!!

I have to admit - I'm a water addict and I love to drink pints and pints of the stuff. But I did have a serious diet coke habit for a while which took a lot to kick (chocolate was easier)so more power to ya for chucking the strawberry stuff away!!
I always how many chemicals are in it to make it that colour anyway......

One foot in front of the other, Baby steps, and the day is coming when you will reach out and tap Goal on the shoulder!

Here's a free bonus: it's true, all the water really can improve the clarity and texture of your skin. I've had 2 comments on it in the last month.
