Water !
I am remember being a child and saying to my mother ” I ‘m hungry” Her response was one of 2; 1 dinner is almost ready or 2 drink some water.
As a child I would drink the water and still be hungry. So drinking water was not a good solution in my mind, however I have changed my mind recently.
The weight management plan and I a following has explained that sometime we misinterpret thirst for hunger. Therefore drink some water.
This is not of amazing new concept or some new idea that I just found out about. Repetition the mother of retention. I am just trying to keep this information so that it becomes second nature to me.
What I will do is follow the direction of my parents. As a child I was given a tall glass of water to drink before dinner, before a snack and in place of a snack and sometimes in place of a meal (usually this water was hot). I had to stand there in front of my father/mother and drink all the water and hand the empty glass to them.
So tomorrow I will return to drinking water as for today I will finish my Mountain Dew and finish the night with my sweet tea in the refrigerator.
Pray for me!

When I was diagnosed as diabetic, I had to give up my sweet tea. I swear, it was harder than quitting smoking, but I did it. Now when I have a sip (just a sip), it’s so sickeningly sweet that I can’t believe I used to drink so much every day! I’m pretty sure that’s WHY I have diabetes!
I substituted water for my sweet tea and while it was hard at first, water is now my first choice when it comes to drinking something!
