I really need to stop eating so much crap.

[apocalypsos]

I just figured out that between apple juice, orange juice, hot chocolate, Gatorade, and water, I haven't had any soda since last Thursday. Yay, me! *happy dance* :)

Now all I have to do is keep it up, which isn't so hard when you figure out what you like to drink that isn't soda. (Next up on the list of Stuff I Need To Cut Out Of My Diet ... chips, the excessively buttered and salted popcorn I eat at the movies, and Cheetos. *sigh* This could take a while.)

EDIT: Right now, I'd kill for some superpowers. Not the one I usually ask for, which is a purse that always has the exact amount of money you need in it whenever you look inside -- which isn't really a superpower but is just really, really useful -- but the ability to skip past this whole "workday" thing and go straight to curling up on my bed tonight and watching Lost. Gyah. I think having to narrow all of my fannish inclinations down to only three shows is making me more goofy about all of them. :)

"Dirty" potato chips aren't terribly bad for you, so you could eat those without much worry.

Raisins, though, are a good snack food.

What I seriously need to pick up tomorrow when I get paid are the golden raisins, which I like better than the other ones, and some airpopped popcorn, which I could inhale by the bagful but don't want to pop myself because there's too much of a temptation to douse it in butter and salt.

Oh, and lots of Tropicana Twister Grape Strawberry. Mmmm.

Golden raisins are the best. But it's a shame about all of them. Humiliated grapes, really.

Heh. <3 Benny & Joon.

Grape juice is good stuff. My family (which is just three of us) goes through two or three big bottles a week.

Lost, TAR, and what else?

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Which isn't exactly a fandom, but it's one of the only shows I watch religiously. :)

Ugh I know all about the Lost addiction, I'm really looking forward to tonight but dreading it also because it's the last one of the season isn't it?

I have a problem where for some unknown reason my body does not store sodium and potassium properly, it will drop dangerously low in my system. Potassium supplements made me puke...solution? give up soda and drink gatorade and eat all the salt I want. (and man do I salt stuff!)

Dropping soda and drinking gatorade most of the time I think was a big key in my losing some of my weight, and it has also helped with some other chronic health problems I had.

Wheat Thins puts out a little cracker called Harvest Grains or something like that...disgustingly health but man, the things are like CRACK COCAINE...I can't get enough of them...maybe try them?

Cherry and strawberry Gatorade (if they bothered to make it) would make me soooooo much happier. As it is, I have a feeling I'm going to have to go nuts shopping for Tropicana Twisters. Grape Strawberry, Strawberry Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade ... mmmmmmmm.

Ooo, Wheat Thins and Harvest Thins and Triscuits. And oatmeal and granola and raisin bran and holy crap, I'm going to turn myself into an uber-vegetarian at this rate.

[chorus-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

hee..yes triscuits. I love the triscuits.

Gatorade has a strawberry flavor...it makes me barf but I don't care for strawberry.

I ALWAYS want Jean's teke when I look at something I'd like to pick up, but is too far away. I try really hard too, like Matilda.
