Yesterday i was absolutely devistated to weigh in with a gain of 3 kilos. [6lb] I hadn't done anything to deserve that. I exercised, ate ok. I'm not drinking, eating crap. Admitedly i wasn't doing the do with much enthusiasm, but at the very least, i should have platued. 3 kilos is a seriously large amount to gain for 'no good reason'! I got really discouraged and just wanted to cry. I came home and sulked [and cried a bit] all night.Then this morning i saw my dietitian and pouted to her. After looking at my diet, we noticed that my intake of Pepsi Max [my one and only vice i have left!] is progressivly going up to nearly 2 litres a day [4 pints/half a gallon]. She said 1 or 2 cans [375ml] a day is the most we should have. Pepsi Max has more caffiene in it than ANY other beverage and 2 ltrs a day would be doing me damage.
I'm also not drinking any pure water at all. Zip, zero, nil. And apparently fat needs water to break it down other wise it can't shift.
So i didn't actualy gain 3 kilos this week.
I've retained way too much fluid with the caffiene in the Pepsi.
The fat has had nothing to help it shift.
She said to buy cans so i can monitor what i drink easier.
And if i do what she told me to do, that 3 kilos [+] should just fall off next week.
She wants me to stop weighing in and measure myself instead. But i don't know if i can do that. And apparently i can't enjoy any consumable vices! I spose i could always start smoking again lol...meh
What a crap 24 hours! except when John let me put my head in his lap while we watched The day the earth stood still, and he stroked my hair. That was lovely. Ok, so the last 24 hours wasn't ALL crap :o)

Oh dear, I understand why your upset.At least you know why though.
i love pepsi max too and if i brought it i could seriously easily do 2 litres a day, so i dont buy it at all- so now if i buy a 500ml bottle (rare) it can last we all day!
Never been a pepsi fan but shit that sounds like bad stuff. eurgh.
Get to drinking water missus! I could never drink enough and now I'm averaging two litres a day and its helping me loads. I bet if you do uop your water those 3 kilos WILL just drop off :D
I couldnt not weigh in. once a week is difficult for me. lol. scale junkie!
Celtic Girl - Yea knowing why helps a lot.
Big Mummy - So there's hope? Hopefully the cans will have the same effect on me!
Fluffy - Water has always been a chore for me unless it's summer and hot. It's harder for me to drink water than it is for me to exercise! But i'm trying to drink warm water at the mo. maybe that'll work :o)
Nothing worse than seeing an unexpected and undeserved gain. I had no idea pepsi max was that bad. I LOVE pepsi max! I might need to cut back as well...
Tully - Long time no see! Good to read you :o)
hey Cactus,
baby steps remember! just cut back slowly and each time you would normally have a pepsi max have a 1/2 glass of water. before each meal have a small glass of water, you'll find the more you drink the more you want/need.
