This one was on my give up list, and I actually wound up doing it after all!
It was a nice goal, but this one’s not gonna happen. I’ll leave it on my list just cuz, but so not gonna be able to do it.
Now that my washer door is broken and we have to jimmy it every time we wash anything, I’ll need to buy a whole new washer AND dryer. So I guess I should really change this thing.
This one was soooooooo hard! I had quit last year when I lost weight, and then when my dad died, I started drinking it again. I hated it. I knew it was just poison going into my body. So on New Year’s Eve, 2009, I said I’M DONE! And I don’t even miss it or crave it anymore. So, I’m gonna say I’m good to go on this one, and that I’ve quit drinking Coke.! Yay me! One of the hardest habits I’ve ever had to break!
I was so sick of weighing 150 pounds, and after having anorexia for so long, getting that fat was just so freaky. I didn’t want to go the starvation route, cuz I didn’t want to go back to the anorexia mentality, especially after all that therapy! So I started counting calories at http://caloriecount.about.com/ and it totally worked. It only took me a few months, and I limited myself to 1,000 calories a day. Now I’m actually down to 121, and hadn’t even planned to lose another 7 pounds. But I’m happy with the way I look… just need to do some working out now.
I only have 3 more classes, and I’ll be done with my MBA! So exciting! I’m looking at around October. It will have taken me 3 years, and a shit-ton of debt, but at least I will have accomplished a really amazing goal!
I thought I’d never get over him, and I finally did! It took two freaking years, but I have ZERO feelings for that guy! It feels fantastic! Asshole…
I took Karen Russell’s online class. It was soooo awesome! I’d love to take more photography courses, and really get an eye for it.
It’s been a month since I’ve had it. I’m hoping to go forever. I won’t say I’ve “quit” until it’s been 6 months or a year.
I am almost there! Only 2 more pounds to go. I can’t believe I am so close to accomplishing this goal. Once I get here, I can shoot for 130! It would be so nice to buy something at Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch again.
This is so hard. I may need therapy after tax season is over. I blocked his phone number from my phone AGAIN so I won’t be tempted to text him anymore. This just has to end. I can’t be his friend. It’s better that we never see each other again if it’s going to be over.
I haven’t had any coke for almost a month now. It is amazing how much weight I’ve been able to lose. I won’t say that I’ve “quit” until it’s been at least 6 months, maybe a year without it.
I can’t seem to move on. I’m so freaking lonely and sad all the time. I don’t want to meet anyone new, I’ll just get hurt again.
I’m actually up to $9,000 in one, $3,000 in my 401k, and $750 in my other brokerage account. Now if I can just get out of debt.
Reasons not to drink COKE
Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago.
- In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
- 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
- 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
- 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
- >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
- >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
- >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.
This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.
I can’t believe it’s over. I graduated from ASU. It’s been a three year journey. Being a single mom of 5 really added stress to the mix, but it was totally worth it. I’m so happy. And now I’m off to Hawaii tomorrow!
