Last week was a rough week. I started the week off at 234 and ended at 237. The thing is, most of the weight gain was avoidable by simply making better choices. Instead of having the scrumptuous but artery-clogging all you can eat buffet at the Mexican food place, I could have had one bean burrito and one taco or something. Instead I ate about four times as much overall. That's probably the worst example, but you get the drift, I just wasn't on the top of my game last week.
Yesterday I had a Diet Mountain Dew, the first soda I've had in a little over a month. The good news is that I believe I've successfully broken myself of them. I used to drink three or four 20 ounce bottles of it a day, but now I can say that I prefer water. If you'd have told me that two months ago, I'd have looked at you like you were completely insane. This week I'm trying to do much better and at least try to reach back down to 235 or so by the end of the week. This will test my attitude, because I'm a little down about the 3 pound weight swing.

If I may add my tale of trying to ween myself off Pop.
I used to drink anywhere up to 2 ltrs of coke a day. 2ltrs is a lot but when you break it down to 3-4 600ml bottles it's easy done.
Like you, I managed to go without for a long time. I'd even bought some occasionally but I'd allways end up tipping it out after a sip. Thought I had the habit kicked.
Well here we are two months into my "lifestyle change" and I've found myself starting to drink pop again. Maybe soft drink is akin to alcohol and you need to go 100% cold turkey.
Anyhow that has been my experience so far.
Its definitely easier to start back. Kind of like cigarettes, I guess. Once you start back drinking them, it becomes easier and easier. God, this "lifestyle change" stuff is hard sometimes, isn't it?
