my resolve for the day? shot to hell.

so i brought a bottle of water to work today b/c i drink WAY too much coca-cola....b/c it's the best drink in the universe. here is my thought process:
"for every can of coke today, i will drink six bottles of water. and that will help control my cola intake, THUS leading to possible weight loss."

then the owner's wife brought in cookies. chocolate chip. damn it. but at least i am washing them down with water.

but man, a coke would taste good.

i have zero will power, folks. NONE.

and to think i entertained the notion of not smoking today...HA!

seriously though, i'm considering slapping on the old patch starting sunday. i did so well, not smoking for eight months and then i collapsed. much like my lungs will if i keep this up. so for now i'm saying sunday*.

*see above "zero will power" comment.

what'd you go and do that for? coke is the best drink ever.
why would you want to stop drinking coke?
there are habits far worse.
like peeling huge amounts of skin from your feet.
or sniffing every 5 seconds so that you squinch your nose up and then flare your nostrils.

i heart coke. i heart coke as though it was one of my own. having said that:
i lack dental insurance and my teeth will pay the price of my cola addiction.
i need to lose some weight.
plus, i read somewhere that coke actually makes a person peel huge amounts of skin from their feet AND sniff every five seconds to that you squinch your nose up and then flare your nostrils.

(the last two i made up.)

but i heart coke.

Whilst sitting (okay liunging) in my bathtub last night I read in the new Allure magazine that if you drink soda just cutting out 1 can per day can lead to a weightloss of 15 lbs over the course of the year. So, don't stop drinking Coke altogether just cut out 1 can a day. guaranteed weightloss-I am sure Allure magazine wouldn't pull your leg, they have to be completely on the level right....right.............right?

I meant lounging-not sure what liunging is-perhaps I should proofread instead of reading Allure magazine.

I drink loads of water because one time my friend -- who is 6-foot-6, 260 pounds, and could probably kill a buffalo with a head-butt -- got a stone and the pain dropped him to the floor as if he had been shot. I live in fear of stones. I asked several doctors how to avoid them and the consensus was: drink lots of water. The phosphoric acid in soda, however, can increase one's susceptibility.

Hmm, having actually written out my intense fear of stones, I am forced to conclude that I am insane.

I HATE those stupid weight loss promises "cut out one can of pop a day and you will lose 15 lbs over the course of a year. Guaranteed". Guaranteed by WHOM? And how the HELL do these mysterious Guarantee-ers control the multitude of variables inherent in gaining or losing weight? What if, after I successfully cut out the one can a day, I also add in one graham cracker a day, or suffer a progressive thyroid problem that actually results in me GAINING 15 lbs over the course of a year? Then what, O omnipotent Guarantee-er? It's like the article I read that stated "If you walk just one mile a day, you will lose 10 lbs in one year, guaranteed". Well, here it is, one year later, and I am still the same weight. Although, I AM 365 miles away from my house......

I just read in HIGHTIMES if you cut out one can of coke a day and substitute it for a gram of coke over a course of three months you will lose a total of 45lbs. Now thats positive weight loss.
