NYBTC Food & Diet Chatter Week #3 & #4

[~shazz~]

i used to be a iced coffee freak i work at a shop one day a week but i used to venture in there everyday anyway to buy my iced coffee and we have notice a huge drop in iced coffee sales we used to buy in 3 crates a week that is 28 600ml iced coffee per crate ( 3x 28 = 84 ) after i gave them up cold turkey on the 1st of jan 2008 we now only buy in 1 crate a week so yep what i'm saying is that i used to drink 33.6 litres of iced coffee a week so i'm coffeee free now and it motivates me to put this out there i still can't believe what a piggy i was and i'm a tad bit richer it was costing me $165 a week that makes it even sadder

and on a brighter note i joined calorie king and i'm only up to 1030 calories for today and i'm not hungry I CAN DO THIS ....

Shazz - that is so excellent! Good on you for giving them up and then working out how much you were drinking and spending! Its kind of a moment. I am sure we could all find something like that from our old 2007 habits to cringe about. For me, I wonder about the total number of cigarettes I have smoked in my lifetime (gave them up few months back - for good this time )......let alone the money I have spent over 15 YEARS of smoking on and off and more on in the recent 10 yrs than off......

Also the number of jelly beans I have consumed doesn't bear thinking about......

It is great not to feel a slave to something like that. I am really proud too because yesterday I was standing around outside at work with a bunch of colleagues talking sh@t and they were all smoking and I didn't even try to inhale their smoke (like I have in the past ).

I definitely know I've quit for good now - avoiding smoking at work until now was one thing but now I've done it in my own backyard where the cues/memories for smoking are much stronger! We had a friend staying over last night and he is a big CHAIN smoker. DP broke and bludged a few off him but I stood firm and told the friend that I didn't want to be rude but I was avoiding the back patio because I didn't want to break. I also avoided smoking again this morning. WHOOOHOOO. Feeling very proud.
