it’s a love/hate relationship

I can’t even lie. I’m kind of addicted to Pepsi. I’ve cut down a lot lately, I use to be able to drink 2+ cans a day. I’ve been trying to stop drinking pop (not, soda!) but it’s hard. I get super bad caffeine headaches and I don’t drink coffee or anything else so I’m not getting any caffeine. I’ve been drinking tons and tons more water and only really have one can a day. I don’t do diet, I dont do caffeine free or any of that other nonsense. I know that if I just stopped drinking it, I would be a lot healthier and I would probably lose some of this awful weight I’ve been carrying the past few years.
Oh Pepsi, I both love and hate you. What is a girl to do? I guess I should be glad it’s not like cigarettes or freaking crack, but still.

Chips of all kinds had me carrying an extra 30 pounds in high school. Once I got away from the cafeteria after graduating, I dropped it all in one summer. It’s crazy how small dietary changes can make such a HUGE difference.
But I miss chips soooooooooooo much. They’re like my cocaine…except they make me gain weight and sleepy versus never having to eat and being awake all the time.
I have a love hate relationship with my giant ass. I guess that would just be a hate hate relationship. Maybe the love has to do with carbs. Mmmm, carbs.
I used to have a terrible addiction to Coke (a cola) but got over it. I do still revel in a can or so but not like I used to.
I am definitely still addicted to my google reader though.
Oreos. Okay, maybe it’s just a love relationship, however my weight doesn’t agree.
Coffee. I hate that I have to whiten my teeth because of it but I just.can’t.stop
2 cans a day. Hardly an addiction! I get through that on a normal day (although naturally Diet Coke, not Pepsi)
Love/hate relationship with beer. Love drinking it. Hate the hangover
Diet Pepsi is actually pretty good.
Mine is coffee. I have quit a few times and actually feel better (after I get over the withdrawal headaches), but I always end up going back.
I have a love/hate relationship with Diet Coke. I can’t do Pepsi products, they are too sweet. Do you remember clear pepsi?
with all food…and with myself. so sad!
Coke zero/any other diet soda.
I used to not drink any soda/caffeine all through high school.
Then in college I started using diet cola as meal replacements.
I haven’t fully given up the chemicals-in-a-can since.
I keep trying, but Diet Soda, I just can’t quit you!
Food in general. I love it but it makes me fat. There really isn’t an upside to this relationship. Damn.
I have a love only relationship with anything in the diet coke family–diet coke, diet cherry coke, cherry coke zero, coke zero. YUM-O!
i have a love-hate with my boyfriend, blogging, the weather, bathing suits
- Us Weekly magazine
- dairy products (specifically cheese)
- The Olsen twins
- capris
- Lost
- American politics
- weddings
- The Hills
- Jack Bauer

Coffee

Milkshakes (esp in summer)
Blogging

I have a love/hate relationship also with pop (woo! someone else who DOESN’T say soda!) and it’s Sprite. So refreshing. Would it help you go more towards the “hating” of Pepsi if I told you I can’t drink it because I would drink a glass when younger to help me throw up when I was sick and really needed to throw up and just couldn’t??? lol
I also have a love/hate relationship with magazines. They are starting to pile up in my apartment again but I love them. Around Christmas I cleaned out my closet and won’t even tell you how many I threw out. You’ll have to guess!!!
Diet Coke- I love it, I hate it, I can’t seem to rid myself of it. I’m drinking it right now.
Chipotle
White pants

I love a nice ice-cold Pepsi too. I used to be badly addicted to it so now I regulate myself to only have one can on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sad I know but it keeps me from getting a nasty Pepsi addiction again.
I had a wicked coffee addiction for a very long time. I weaned myself off by switching over to green tea, and now I only have one or two cups of tea a day, which is good for you anyway. Maybe if you make yourself a pitcher of iced green tea and let yourself make it as sweet as you want to it’ll help kick the habit. Then later, if you want, you can wean yourself off the extra sugar. Cold turkey on a caffeine habit is just too miserable.

i’m not a huge pop fan - i pretty much drank absolutely zero for about a year and a half, had a very “active” job, and dated an idiot. during that time i lost about 25 lbs. but yeah, i try to stick with water [especially at restaurants - saves money!].
i also get the caffeine headaches. if i don’t have 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning, i’ll be struck with an awful migraine the next morning. i can totally sympathize with you on this!
My sister has been battling her Pepsi addiction for 20 years. And she can kill 2 2-liter bottles a day! She always switches to iced tea when she tries to quit but apparently not enough sugar and caffeine to ward off the headaches.
I have an addictive personality so I have a lot of love/hates. Cigarettes are my big one right now. I quit when I got knocked up. So I haven’t smoked in 6 months. But I long for a smoke…and I keep thinking of having “just one or two” after giving birth…but after almost 9 months of not smoking I know it would be stupid to re-awaken that demon so I am trying to talk myself out of it. But the little devil that lives on my shoulder keeps whispering in my ear that I “deserve” a couple smokes and a drink after this month fat fest. Sigh…
i gave up soda….and then fell off the no-caffeine wagon yesterday
I have a love hate relationship with running, soda, and fast food…specifically taco bell.
Hmmm….pepsi is gooood…I’ve cut back my pop intake…I still have one every once in awhile….but i’ve broken my addiction! yayyy! you can do it!
- Amelia Grazia’s cuppycakes…so good…I know I shouldn’t have 4 of them in one sitting….
- The gym…I DO feel better when I go…I’d just rather do nothing….hee hee…I finally went last nite after taking like 4 weeks off! Ooops…
- buffalo chicken pizza….i love to eat it….i hate that it’s unhealthy….
In college I used to drink half a dozen Pepsi’s a day, or so…and I was still a size 2. I sorta hate College Me, she can suck it.
I’ve also cut back mucho, but if I do indulge, the Pepsi is usually gone in 15 minutes or so.
Coke Zero… 2 a day, I wish! I have had to limit myself to 4 a day. One at home before/ on the way to work and then 3 at work. You should see how many coke rewards points I have.
food in general !!!!!!!
im such a foodie, my favorite thing to do it go out to eat at fun restaurants. but man does my waistline hate me.
I have a love/ hate relationship with Cheesecake. I know it is going to add like 100 pounds to my thighs just by looking at it but I love it so!
Kim Kardashian.
The Hate part is because she won’t do me.
Probably Diet Coke. And procrastonating.
I drink Diet Pepsi like it’s my job. And the worst part? Diet Pepsi makes me crave Snickers. WTF?
I have a love/hate relationship with dieting (or, I should call it “trying to be healthier). Do I want a flat stomach? Because if I try too much for that flat stomach, my boobs will go flat, too. Or do I just say “I’m fine” with a normal belly? And I also love/hate cleaning. I like to be neat, but I hate putting in the effort to organize. I usually only get the gusto to organize when I’m in an angry mood.

I have a love hate relationship with myself
I feel the same way about Diet Coke. It has no nutritional value whatsoever, but I love it so!
oh man, I thought I was the last earth walking pepsi lover. so much better than coke. and hell yeah, i’m addicted too!
i have a very love/hate relationship with cheese, seriously i love it but i feel my arteries clog it as i eat it, haha.
I’ve never cared that much for soda. Sometimes I like a root beer but does that count as soda?
I currently have a love/hate relationship with peanut butter.

Crap food

We share a lover. I have been a Pepsi-addict for so long now it’s ridiculous. Coke is like holy water to a vampire when it comes to me.
There are times, though, when I absolutely have to kick it for a while (like when I step on the scale and it reads 4 digits!) Iced tea is a good substitute because it doesn’t have a lot of caffeine, but it does have enough to calm the withdrawals
Snapple is good. Snapple Peach is my other mistress. Sugar kind. No diet for Lippy
Cheesecake
Sleep

Pepsi is definitely on my love/hate list. So is chocolate. So is Doritos Cool Ranch. I love how they taste so good, but I hate that if I eat too much of it, I’ll gain 50 pounds. Something I don’t need. haha
And Diet Pepsi, to me anyway, tastes like dishwashing liquid.
Ordering pizza and having it for every meal of the next day.
Expensive lattes.
Diet Coke.
