Soda Was Keeping Me Fat
My Dad worked for Pepsi Cola for over thirty seven years. He did this day in and day out while we lived near Long Island City, New York. I have many memories of him leaving for work or meeting him at the subway station on his way home. He was a fiercely loyal man to Pepsi, he would not even allow Coke products into our home. He was loyal in a time when companies were loyal to their employees through pensions and such.
One thing I took into adult life is my love for Pepsi. I would rather have a Pepsi on a hot day even more than water. I would drink it at dinner and I would drink it pretty much whenever. I enjoy it much more than even beer to the dismay of some of my friends.
This may seem elementary, but Pepsi is part of what made me fat. I was no longer running in the street of my youth playing tag. I am now forty five years old and to exercise I need to go to the gym. As my wife and I started our journey to a healthier lifestyle I decided that I needed to drink more water and cut back on all the soda, or pop, as they call it here in the Southern USA.
This may seem like a no brainer, heck I know it is a no brainer. Cut out the soda and drink more water. I have heard and read it many, many times. So have you! I did this and in ten days I lost over ten pounds. I no longer feel bloated and no longer do I feel as if a penny is not worth picking up because my belly is in the way. You need to even cut out the diet soda as this is not healthy either.
So, if you are serious about losing weight let me help you hear it one more time. Cut out the soda and drink more water. It will be the easiest ten pounds you ever lost.
