Re: geez...am I the only one that says "pop" and not "soda"?
"Pop" can mean anything. Soda, to most peple, means one thing.

I've been to Lafayette. Some college friends and I took a road trip to a frat step show (it was in the Cajundome if I remember correctly) and the countless parties afterward.
Asking for a coke shouldn't be too much of a problem. Asking for blow might lead to complications...

Re: Bel
Hey Talion,
I have to say eating is one of my favorite hobbbies. I lived in Lafayette LA and many called it soda water there. I have been warned that in certain parts of the country asking for a coke, one could end up with just about anything!

One of the reasons I've stayed thin all my life is I don't particularly like eating. Sure, I love food, but eating is basically a big pain in the neck. If they came up with a pill that had all the vitamins and nutrients a person needed to stay healthy, I'd be the first in line for it.
On a side note, here in Memphis, many people call soft drinks Coke, regardless of the actual brand or flavor. In New Orleans, a common term was cold drink.

They call it pop here Shelly, but given I spent enough time in the south, I call it soda!

Sound advice, Bell
I lost thirty pounds in the past few years, ten of them within the past few weeks by substituting water and juices...oh, and booze, of course...for the soda I love so much and limiting my carbs.
My congratulations to you on regaining your figure...

Re: Bel
Troosha,
I definately see it all as a blessing. While I might not like how it unfolded, I am grateful for all the good that has come from it.

Albeit it sounds like it took a great deal of heartache for you to finally take the time to discover "you", perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. Good for you for
doing the work... most people want instant results and aren't prepared to roll up their sleeves and make some changes.

Re: Gratz on your weightloss
Thank you Harderup. I have accepted it as lesson and growth in my life. I had two choices let it get me down and destroy me or step up and make changes. The changes seemed like the better choice.
