story goes like this...... 1980's dragged up in north east pit village and taught good values but never given good food habits..... 1990'swent from being thin and fit van driver in early 20's to a sales rep and the pounds piled on over the years.. 2000's got into motorcycling and women and eating lots of junk 2010 peaked at 20st11lbs and got into MTB 2011 down to 18st but still battling with a lot of emotional stresses in life (in hand due to counselling) and blew best part of £14K on MTB's and all the expensive trendy must have shit that I [i]needed[/i] to have 2012 lost job and sold most of the above (for less than half of paid price) to get by but retained the desire for sugary foods, sweets and coke. I'm currently putting myself through a real life laundry. I have a great well paid job, nice exec company car, beautiful MILF GF, coming to terms with some erratic and emotional purchasing habits and in a quest to get myself off junk I sat down and was 100% honest with what I was eating every day. Driving around a lot I eat serious amounts of junk and here's a taster, like I said 100% honest and this is a conservative estimate every day I'd have two cans of full fat coke and three bars of chocolate. I costed this up in calories, £'s and g's of fat over this month. £114.70 30,598 calories and 1229g's of fat.. When I saw this I nearly had a heart attack :lol: my theory is eat better and won't feel need to emotional eat and then won't feel depressed because my money has disappeared and then won't emotionally purchase or comfort eat. Does this sound like a good way of approaching the issue??? be honest, I can take it.... s

Sweetners are nasty stuff IMO. Banned in kids food, banned by the yank military. MSG on the other hand is awesome!

*stands up meekly*
My name is Kayak23, and I'm addicted to Coke.
Getting on for 5-6 cans of Diet Coke a day when I'm at work...
Really should be drinking water more, and I'm very good with willpower elsewhere in my life, but Coke is my vise...

This thread has been a bit of an eye opener for me.

I really didnt know that people are addicted to the fizz. 😯 ... Sure I know it bad for you but I never really drunk that much pop as a kid and hardly touch the stuff now, I guess any news items on it went under my radar.

So fair play to the OP and others for thier honestly... I hope you can get yourself off the sweat stuff, if thats what you'd like to do.

I know in light of your experiences I will be even more vigilant on keeping my kids away from it.
