That's what she said

I know how you feel, fiedler. I'm not allowed to eat candy before dinner, so I eat it after lunch.

I just finished half a six pack while at work. The brown colored glass bottles are cliniing in my trash can as we speak... It's good to be an adult.

























P.S. It was a six pack of IBC diet root beer. :-) I'm gonna try to save the other half for tomorrow.

NO WAY, DRAUG!

I drank twelve of those yesterday!

That's really bad for you. That's a shit ton of sugar.
And even if they're artificially sweetened they'll still make you fat.

Oh no! At 122 lbs, I never thought I could get overweight!

Yep, that's why I try to restrict myself to three a day and drink either ice tea (unsweatened, usually fresh brewed "chai" or herbal and fruit like a mandarinorange spice, but sometimes orange pekoe) or water the rest of the day. don't need all those artificials sweetener causing water gain. Oh, Mafia, they don't actually make you fat so much as make you gain weight through water retention. Diet pop doesn't put fat on you as it has no calories there fore no fat or carb content, but it does have a side effect of reducing the body's ability to naturally release water causing it to bloat up.

@KA - I went in the Marines at 5' 10.5" and 129 lbs. I'm stil 5'10 and a hlaf, but weigh 260. Never say never when it comes to weight gain. Drinking sugar laden pop like that (unless you are drinkgin the diet version, which I doubt) *will* alter your metabolism in time and you may well become a diabetic if you keep up those sugar habits. I became one when I was trying to *lose* weight by eating and rinking mostly citrus fruits and salads with low-fat dressings (mostly olive oil and vinegar, but some red ones like low-fat french and russian). Sugar is as bad as fat.

Don't worry about me, Draug, my mom is one of those health fanatics. I've inadvertently picked up enough good eating habits to keep me somewhat in shape. I am 5' 9" and quite thin, so I should be fine for a while...

See you think that, but I'm 6'4" and 180 lbs, which is at the low end of normal for that height, but I'm still well out of shape. The question is, how long can you run for before you run out of breath King Atom? How many flights of stairs can you go up before you start to wish you'd taken the elevator? And even if the answer to those questions is quite good, you still need to watch sugar intake. Refined sugar wreaks havoc with your metabolism.
