actually, pop is a big part of the problem. In the height of my fatassery, I drank nothing but pop. I stopped and started drinking nothing but Gatorade (which is much better, but still has a bunch of HFCS). Dropped 50lbs without changing diet or exercise in any other fashon.

Got back to PA here a couple months ago, and the only thing that is ever stocked to drink in the fridge here is Pepsi or Mt. Dew. Gained 15 lbs over the last 2 months. Bought a big thing of water a month ago with some Crystal Light packets and half of it is gone already.
