Diet vs. Regular

So, which is better? Diet or regular? I've given up drinking soda, but personally I never had a problem drinking diet anything. In fact, I disliked regular Coke if I had to drink it.

Anyways, I saw something curious today. I was waiting in the little kiosk (I love that word) at work waiting for my food and I woman had a creative answer to the above question. She just mixed half a cup of diet pepsi with regular pepsi.

Honestly, I'd never have thought of this. So I have to give props to the clever woman.

On the other hand, she would have been better off if she had stuck with an entire cup of diet, if you get my drift. Also, a salad rather than slice of pizza.. and a walk up the one flight of stairs to her floor rather than an elevator ride.

Do women have to look like they do in magazines? No.. most of those women are slightly scary to be honest. But if you have trouble fitting through a door, perhaps it is time to think about a healthier lifestyle, and this doesn't mean half a glass of diet pepsi with your regular.

They're called "baby steps." It's slow progress but is at least an attempt at self-improvement. I suppose her weaknesses are much more deplorable in your eyes because they are visible.

Eh.. perhaps.

Perhaps I find it funny that she believes that half a glass of diet soda isn't going to make any difference. I guess if I wanted to lose weight I'd go for it all out, rather than half a glass of diet.

Oh, and I think I made some girls cry the other day since I said to a group of kids that 65% of the population is over weight. Oops.

Was that Niki? Doesn't sound like Niki.
