Time to Confess

Late night snacking and just all around splurges are the worst for me. I can undue a week’s worth of workouts in a meal on the weekend!

But thank you for your encouraging words, because I wouldn’t want that to happen to me either where my surgery is postponed because I cheated on the pre op diet.

Good Luck on your journey!

Mine was also the diet coke addiction. It was the carbonation for me too but it hasn't been hard at all.  Would I still like one? Yes, but the need is not gnawing at me at all.

Two bad habits I still have: drinking with a straw (waited until 3 months post op) and drinking regular coffee (waited until 2 months post op)

I've left behind way more bad habits than I kept, though... to name a few:
I use my treadmill and exercise videos now instead of letting them collect dust
I don't drink Diet Coke (or anything carbonated) even though I used to be addicted (seriously)
I eat protein first
90% of my meals and snacks consist of lots of protein, a little veggies, and hardly any carbs
I don't drink with meals
I exercise 5-6 days a week (where I used to exercise 1-2 days a week)
I don't drink my calories other than protein shakes

Those things are easy.  The habit that I've mostly broken, but am still working on is grazing.  I catch myself eating more often than I'd like sometimes.

I quit smoking 3 years ago, I quit drinking coffee about a year ago.  The only addiction I have left is diet coke.  I haven't had on since last night and feel fine :)  I don't think it will be nearly as hard as quitting smoking or coffee.

 Amy. Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday.  Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you so much!!! 

Keep in Touch Amy and let us know how it goes!
Hope you have a speedy recovery

Congrats on quitting smoking! I know that’s one of the hardest things to do for some. How did you quit smoking, cold turkey, or replacements? I quit smoking a while ago as well so I can definitely understand the struggle!   There are just other habits that have gotta stop, lol   Good Luck with cutting out the diet coke and your journey!
