People often ask me.. "Akki, were you always this fat???" and my reply is always... "No ya... i started gaining weight only after my 5th grade..."
Now don't think that i'm making an excuse or anything...
I've never been a thinny... but i was not this fat either. And the one and only reason... PEPSI... i don't know how many ppl can second me on how pepsi can be excessively addictive... but i was majorly addicted to pepsi to an extent that i had to have at least two bottles every day... every single bloody day and that's about 24 spoons of sugar on an average per day and that doesn't even include all the other things that i used to consume before and after that.
I've always had the tendency of gaining weight, but my mum started taking care of my food habits as soon as she saw that i had horrible weight gaining tendencies.. but me like a stubborn idiot, never listened to her and would just fight with her whenever she scolded me for eating something too oily, or having too much pepsi, or having excessive amount of chocolates!!! Was I an idiot... but now its too late to lament..
Anyways, back to Pepsi. I was saying how addicted i was to it and how it stimulated my weight gain even more than i could already manage... I think when you drink a lot of pepsi, its like smoking. A smoker always knows that smoking is harmful to him/her, but he/she still continues. Drinking pepsi is like that... i knew it was harmful for me.. but i still could never resist it.
And even though i don't drink pepsi and all that much anymore, give me a bottle of it and i will still indulge into it.. though i shouldn't and i will prevent addiction to it at all costs.. now when i come to think of it... 12 SPOONS OF SUGAR!!! can't imagine how much i have to run on the treadmill to get rid of all those calories... SIGH!!! why can't yummy things be healthier!?!

food!!!:-)
liked this post of yours for obvious reasons;)..he he
glad that you are restraining yourself from drinking pepsi:-)
hmm.. and i also so so so wish yummy food was healthier..;)
give a thought on diet pepsi. you know, giving up pepsi is like giving away your blanket on a cold cold morning. ;)
i'd think the reason we get addicted to unhealthy food, n start thinkin it's tasty is bcos of the desensitising factor once we've had it a couple of times.
a good way to avoid that situation would probably be....to make sure we eat everything in the most natural of conditions.(that way the body's inner defenses wil kick in n make ur food taste not that good if it's unhealthy.)
in the case of pepsi, the result would be, to drink it under natural conditions would imply u drink it without artificially cooling it...if u have ever tried that, how yucky & excessively sweet it tastes under those conditions.
i've tried this with a lot of other stuff n it actually works!
so if it's unhealthy food n u eat it under NATURAL(not artificially simulated conditions), then it actually tastes rather yucky.
...a nice way to differentiate b/w healthy & unhealthy stuff.wouldn't u say?
I'd say so... certainly
its a good way of letting your taste buds work against it.. one can definitely try it.. i certainly will, the next time i'm craving pepsi or something that i'm not supposed to eat..
thank you for the comment...
if you understand addictions you should NEVER give a smoker a hard time about it.
do WE know its a disgusting habit?? yes
do we know its more addictive than heroin?
yes
do YOU know how hard it is to quit?
not quite...
we aren't proud of the habit. we want to quit.
non smoking women.... stop sounding like you're better than others......
rant on because this is about addictions.
know the difference between bad people and bad habits.
makes life easier.
hmm Mr "Anonymous" getting all worked up over a little [gold]flake??
If you feel so strongly about something why not post up with your name??
Non smokers, esp. women HATE the clouds of smoke.They hate the smell of a guy who just had one.
Live with that.
The least you can do not light up around them, or let the smoke get to them.
At least thats what I try to do
To anonymous... i'm not proud of the fact that i was addicted to pepsi.. i know its hard to quit.. but its not impossible.. i have quit.. been 8 months since i've had a proper bottle of pepsi...
and as for smoking... pepsi is only about obesity... maybe the pesticide thing.. but you're take on smoking.. about how it is hard to quit and how "u want to quit" its crazy that you know smoking kills you.. and you're still stuck on "want to quit" instead of "have to quit..."
you completely missed the point.
read my posts again.
dont worry about us.
the post was about how women treat us.
they say they are "concered" but in reality its contempt.
p.s I dont smoke around women/non smokers.
