I Can't Believe I Ate Fast Food

Yeah, the fast food (I'm finding out) I can do without. But give up soda, Cran? Now you're talking crazy.

Wait a minute, Cosmo. There's someplace called "Sheetz"? Isn't that, like... foreshadowing? "Give us $1.99 and we'll give you the Sheetz!"

Ugh. Haven't been there in 4-5 months. Don't plan on returning anytime soon, either. Sacrilege, I know, for a Cincinnatian, but that stuff just sits in your gut like a brick.

And, Grimace? Bring it on!

 

I've cut back on the burgers and fries and such, and I've dropped about 10 pounds since Christmas, but I still loves me some Crack in the Box. I'll still go through there a couple of times a week. No soda, though ... tea for me.

 

Lately, I've been trying to stay away from anything with high fructose corn syrup, too, but when you start looking at labels it's real difficult to find stuff without it.

 

Go with the diet stuff. I go for the occasional Pepsi, but my mainstay is diet Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist, or diet Mountain Dew if I still want the caffeine. Actually, the taste really isn't the hook for me. I miss the carbonation when I go without for a while.

 

The carbonation was key for me, too. I moved to seltzer with a splash of oj or cranberry. And beer, lots of beer.

 

Speaking of fast food, Bandwagon Boy was all over the Denny's promotion:

I can't really live without soda in my life. But when I feel overloaded on the HFCS, I try to drink only Hansen's root beer or ginger ale because it doesn't contain any HFCS, sodium or preservatives. (Unfortunately, no caffeine either.) Tastes great, because it's got real cane sugar in it. I recommend it.

 

I gave up soda pop pretty easily, though I drink a ton of coffee, so I still get my caffeine.

The only soda pop I drink is root beer when I eat out, but I never buy soda pop at work anymore or drink it at home.

 

I go check his board out once in a while. Makes me laugh..

 

Wish I could drink more coffee instead of soda, but my stomach doesn't settle whenever I have too much or have it too early. Don't know why.

Need a caffeine fix, though.
