In all seriousness, probably between 2 or 3, depending on my work schedule. I can feel the headache if I don’t get my morning coffee.

I’ve stopped drinking Coke or any equivalent drink last year, lost 7kg since then.

I actually gained about 12 kg when I stopped with the coke. The reason is that I drank it not only because of thirst, but also because it sated my hunger to a degree. Without it, I was much more hungry and had much bigger meals (and also started eating in between meals), especially early on. A similar thing happened before when I tried to switch to diet coke, but not as extreme, only about 5 kg. I still need to drink something sugary from time to time for my appetite not to become overbearing, though now it's mostly fresh juices which I thin down a bit with sparkling water, especially apple juice.

If you spend weeks on a diet you could notice that appetite decreases when you stop consuming it.

Sugar is just fast satisfaction that makes you long for more at short notice,it's really a sort of addiction that takes time to beat.



I own an interior design and residential remodeling company.

You are probably pre-diabetic because of that ubiquitous sugar, like a lot of people on the Western diet.

Over the last year I have cut out most of the sugar and replaced it with animal fat and protein (at least 50% of my calories) and I am never hungry anymore. I go most days with just one big fatty meal and fast for 23hours until the next day. Without all that insulin in your body, you will feel more satiated and be able to lose body fat much easier.

I was planning to work for another 2 to 4 years in my small business that I own, and sell out and retire. Recently developed an allergy to rubber and latex products which consist of 90 % of my business. I will now have to move up my plans to 2 to 4 months instead and I now fear the unknown going forward. I have a ton of skill sets, but for some reason I'm still scared.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

I love to write stories. In fact, I have a lot of projects at my PC (some of them are even printed)..

A friend of my mom wanted to read one of them, called (in english) "Lost Souls". She said she couldn't believe it was writed by me. I wish I could post them here, but I'm not a good translator... I can translate the titles, however:

"Lost Souls" - My first project.

"Deathmatch: Survival Game"

"City of Darkness"

"The Dark Lady"

"Chronos"

"Deathmatch 2: Crimes and Punishments" (Also called "Deathmatch 3". To be honest, I cancelled the original second version because it was very poorly written.

"Chronos 2: Digital Distortion" - In progress.

In all seriousness, I suppose I may seem silly a lot of the time, but it's usually a front for pain. My life is pain. That's it. It's been mostly poverty, rape, violence, poverty, drugs, the suicide attempt, depression, anxiety, alienation from family, friends dying, my mom dying, loneliness and awkwardness in general, ugliness, my love-hate relationship to my community writ large, certain physical struggles I don't like detailing, poverty...nothing but fun. I want there to be a meaning to life so I have a reason to go on living. I look for some kind of meaning in most everything, accordingly.

Okay, the pity party is over now. You asked though. Also, I like roller skating. As a grown adult.

Sounds like you've had it pretty rough, Jaicee. If you ever just need someone to vent to I'll listen. You'll always have a home here. I know our little internet gaming community isn't much, but there's plenty of people who value your presence here on the forums, myself included.

I used to drink 1 soda can per day, but then I moved countries and they don't have my soda of choice. Plenty of Cola here, but it is quite expensive anyways.

Anyways I am always mindful of Protein> Sugar, so even if I gain weight it is healthy weight and not just Sugar carbs.

I got banned by ioi at E3 one time for not dancing at one of the after parties, but he was too drunk to type correctly so my ban is listed as Land of Dancing. I think all of the rest of the E3 staff got banned too...for similar reasons.

Woah, just how far back with this site do you go? I knew your account is over a decade old, but are you saying you worked for the site?
