I have been off of Diet Coke for several months now until today. I went to see the movie, The Women, and I forgot my contraband fruit juice. I decided to just have a Diet Coke. It was better than a sugary drink (except for the horrific chemicals). In the past, I would have taken having the Diet Coke and an excuse to go "all or nothing" on myself. Having it was such a non issue. It was a watered down version of Diet Coke and it did not open the flood gates of unhealthy eating. I won't have another one for a long time. I did not die because I had one. It is okay. I know it sounds ridiculous to go on about a can of diet soda. I am happy that I am starting to manage my all or nothing former way of being with food.
I had written in a post about my over doing of fruit and that appears to be over too. I think it did relate to PMS. Since I had not had a period for so long, I did not remember how much my cravings went bonkers.
My terrible scale is about ready to hit the trash. If I step on the scale with one foot, it is 282, if I step with the other foot, the scale says 287. Weird. I have no idea which one is correct. This week, I am going to either stop weighing except at a friend's house once a week, or just deal with my scale and keep watching the trend of weight loss forgetting about an actual number. What do you think?

About Me
- Joy's Journey in Weightloss
- My name is Joy and I am a 42 year old with a child who is a dream come true (more on that story later) and a career that is my calling in life. I have incredible friends and am in good place in my life...except for one thing-my weight. I have been on every diet from Scarsdale, meal replacing (and gall bladder replacing) shakes, Jenny Craig and everything else under the sun. I think ultimately, Weight Watchers will be my best bet to tackle this challenge, but I am clearly not ready-yet because I still think I can eat sugar when ever I want. Sugar took so much from my life, including my fertility with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have to get out of denial and make a change for good!

I'm all for not weighing at all. No..just kidding. I just have a problem getting on the scale. I say congrats for hitting a movie and having a diet coke. That's really awesome. I have diet sodas as a treat. I love diet orange crush or a diet root beer. I still drink lots of water so hopefully it all balances. It's better than the alternative. Way to go.
Ugh, I know what you mean about scales. My current scale always shifts up from zero after I weigh. So I usually just set it to zero, step on it once, and am done with it. I know it's pretty accurate, though, because it's not far off from the doctor's and diabetes educators' scales.
I like your idea to weigh once a week at a friend's house, that's a good idea.
We had a digital scale previously. It did the same thing you're describing, and that drove me nuts! I wasn't visiting doctors much those days, and when I went in for a checkup, I found out that I weighed 20 pounds more than our scale was showing! Ack!!!
Congrats on the movie and the Diet Coke! We went bowling about a month after I started my "clean eating," (which included no sodas), and drank a bunch of Diet Pepsi. I, too, would probably have regarded that as a "here I go again" moment, but nope, it didn't trigger wanting more & more. Whew!
