Soda Pop

SO watching Biggest Loser last night (thank you DVR/TiVO) I came across the question session with the editor of Prevention Magazine and her statement about soda pop. The question was True or False, Drinking Diet Soda will make you live longer (or something like that). The answer, False. Ok ok so I know this, it is nothing new. My brother (the Doc) has told me to stop drinking soda. I know it is bad for me and as a family we have decided that no more caffeine soda will be consumed by our family. But we still buy soda. Ughh it is so hard to stop and I don't really want to. I like the taste I like the feel of it in my throat. I am addicted and it is going to take a lot for me to quit. But the editor did say something that I thought was interesting. Maybe I have heard it before but through selective hearing I have never let it sink in. Soda contributes to tummy fat. OMG do I really need that??????

Frank has recently given up all soda (it's been 2 months) and it's been so hard for him. You can do it- look at all the hard things you do in life, work, raising a family, RUNNING, losing all the weight you have, this is just one more thing you can accomplish. Maybe you can find another healthy indulgence to take the soda's place- I don't know, just a suggestion.
