Time to Confess

Let’s be honest as much as we work so hard to become healthy, we all have a bad habit or two. Everyone is going through changes but to wake up one day and just stop every single one of them cold turkey sounds nearly impossible. I have a couple myself and working everyday to try and stop or change them to be healthy. I know after my surgery life is going to change and it will be even easier to stop doing them all together.   But I’m curious what bad habits do you have that your trying to quit before surgery, how are you doing and what are you doing to quit doing them?

I am going to work on my Coke (Coca Cola, that is) addiction. I need to eliminate that out of my diet.

If you still prefer a flavored drink, Try the Mio's They are really good. I substituted and found it easier for me to quick the sodas.

Good Luck!!

I quit diet coke (and all soda) 6 weeks ago.  It was reallyyyyy tough the first week...but now I don't really miss it much.

 Same here... Soda was like crack to me now it so doesnt bother me at all!

Same Here,

When I quit drinking the soda it was easier not to want to drink it as much.

Soda was the big one for me.  And it wasn't even about the caffiene I loved the carbonation.  I haven't had it in a month now and honestly do not miss it. 

Mine was to stop drinking reg coffee and diet coke. I went from reg coffee to half caffinated to now only decaf....diet coke just gradually cut back so when I got home from hospital it would be one less thing to worry about.I'm still dietcoke and reg coffee free lol

Coffee was and still is the hardest thing ever! I love the flavor, I even love coffee ice cream. LOL

I foundt he Muscle Milk Light Cafe LAte, and put it on ice it tastes like an iced coffee, delish!

Keep it up!!

I quite late-night snacking. Well, at least until I got my surgery date. Then I slipped for a while (over the course of a month or so). But then the pre-op diet hit and that was the end of that. The threat of going through all that, getting to the hospital, and having the surgery canceled at the last minute was more than enough to keep me honest. At some point during those two hellish weeks, it became more important to do it for myself than for the threat of postponing surgery. Had to prove to myself that I could do it. Because now that I've had the surgery, once I heal and discover what my new normal will be for eating, there will still be the work of moderating and exercising. I managed to do it before surgery so now I know I can do it afterward too. It won't be easy, but I am worth the effort. We all are.
