It’s where you give up sugar for a certain amount of time (that’s what I know them to be anyway).

They are rough!! I had a hardcore Pepsi drinking problem for years and giving it up is super hard!

I gave up sugary drinks a few years ago. Dropped a lot of weight from just that alone. I refuse to "Drink" my calories now but I don't think I could ever cut out sugar completely. I like to put sugar on my sugar lol

One thing I've managed is to give up sugar at work. I used to be terrible bying coke and a chocolate bar at the vending machines every single day. Now the only time I get anything if I do overtime and work a 12 hour shift. I think a big part of the problem is the habit you get into. Like I use chocolate to reward myself, or as a treat if I feel sorry for myself, like when I work a lot of overtime and I'm tired after work I feel like I deserve some chocolate.

Yup, you are exactly right about it being a habit! And I think you definitely deserve chocolate after working 12 hours!

Good job!! You look at it in the right way, unlike me lol. My problem is that Pepsi just makes me so happy! Sometimes when I have one (rarely anymore), it makes my eyes water because of how good it is (or the carbonation...either way lol).

Drastic! Wine and Margaritas are excellent uses of calories

Good thing for me that I hate Pepsi! I'm in Georgia so it's Coca Cola for me. Now it's Coke Zero. Sometimes with a shot of Crown

So to change the current subject. Anyone else not sleeping ??? Since I hit about 2 weeks I stay up late surfing The DIS, checking and re checking my itinerary, looking at what ADR's are available, surfing Touring Plans wait times and crowd predictions, Checking the 15 day forecast ..... I need to go to sleep!!!!

I am in Jambo House and can’t wait to try The Mara! It looks like it has a lot of good stuff And my daughter is so excited about zebra domes!

Thanks for the heads up about the ostrich...that sounds exactly like the type entertainment that I will thoroughly enjoy

Zebra Domes are LIFE. I may have to fit in a special trip to The Mara just to get some. When we ate at Boma last year, there was only a couple of zebra domes left so I had one and asked the waiter if they had any more before we left if we could get some to go. He said that they weren’t allowed to do anything to go. Right before we left, he brought us a box of the zebra domes. There was like 6-7 in there and he said he got it just for us. Literally made my night. I even wrote to Disney raving about our waiter because he was that awesome.

If anyone eats at Boma, his name is Kyle.

See the weird thing about Coke and Pepsi is that down south like where you are, the Coke tastes more like Pepsi and Pepsi has a weird aftertaste! For a few years my brother and sister-in-law lived in Augusta GA so I always obsessed over this when I visited them. I swear they taste different here in PA than they do down there!

But then again, I may be completely out of my mind lol

You're not alone... except I've been doing this at work too whenever I take a break... and I've been taking too many breaks...

I don’t go to sleep until super late, but that’s because I am off in the summers. I am actually kind of worried about it because I can’t be doing this during the Disney trip lol. Now that my daughter is back in school I am trying to stay up after dropping her off, so hopefully my sleep cycle is somewhat normal soon!

I’m laughing because this is me right now! We leave Thursday and I am panicking at what all I still have left to do and what dining I need/should change. Also, checking my itinerary a couple hundred times a day lol!

I personally like these late night Disboards chats

I’m sleeping but I’m definitely not working between trying to figure out what to pack and any double checking the itenery I’m surprised I’m still getting my work done

Carbs are my downfall. Give me all of the carbs!!

You're not alone. Carbs are most everyone's downfall.

I'm in Georgia too, but can't stand Coke...never have. Pepsi for me! Well, doing keto, tea or water for me.
