It really is shocking because softdrinks were the main reason why I gained a lot of weight 5 years ago. I stopped drinking them and I refrained from eating junk foods, and then count my calorie intake and I lost 30 pounds. It's not easy though because I have to stay focused and control my cravings all the time. It was a very difficult thing to do too during the holidays because my mom prepared a lot of delicious foods. I only ate very little serving of her decadent desserts and menus, which was so hard to do. But I made sure that I consume lots of fruits and vegetables first to fill me up and then ate the desserts. It wasn't an easy thing to do but self control can really make you stop eating calorie rich foods.
