If your like me, I wondered how can that be when it doesn't have calories and it doesn't have sugar? The artificial sweetners in diet soda confuse your metabolism. When you eat something sweet your body tells your brain to activate your metabolism. But diet soda is empty of calories so your metabolism gets confused prompting you to eat more later. The school of medicine at the U of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio did a 9.5 year study. They found people who drank 2 diet sodas a day had a waistline growth 500% greater than the non-drinkers. I think this applies to flavored water with "splenda" etc in it too! On my HCG diet, I tried to drink as much Vitamin Water I could because it contains Stevia which is an all natural sweetner that does not confuse your metabolism. Think its time to start drinking more vitamin water!
This is me!

- I am a 31 year old mother of 3 kids who has struggled with my weight my entire life. I was not the skinny cheerleader in highschool.. I was the plump Art Club girl who everyone pretty much just ignored. I have decided that since 1 of my sons is a type 1 diabetic that I will get my own health into full check for all of my kids' and my husband's sake. I want to be here for them for the rest of their lives! Or as long as God allows me to be! :) Here you will find my trials and tribulations of my everyday struggle with my weight and the emotions it brings on. I hope you will find great inspirations in what works for me and what doesn't work for me and mold it into your own life journey!
