    I used to drink vitamin water all the time, too (especially when I was hungover lol). Then I wised up and realized it wasn’t actually healthy. Plus, buying that stuff all the time was expensive! My boyfriend drinks a Vitamin Water 10 every morning. I don’t think that’s so bad, especially since it’s made with stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. The hippie in me doesn’t like how much waste he’s creating, though!

      I’m with you! It’s so much waste. I really hate plastic water bottles. Lisa

    I love the new low cal ones. They taste just like the original to me! And you’re right – the number of serving sizes in a container is a huge stumbling block for a lot of people just starting out. Why not just include the calories for the whole bottle!?

      I agree. I wondered the same thing about why they don’t have the entire calorie count. I think it’s to trick people into buying things that aren’t healthy. They glance at the back and see 50 calories and are all excited! They don’t realize it’s really 150!!! -Lisa

    I was shocked when I realized how many calories I drank at one point- that’s why I always try to stick to unsweetened tea and coffee with very little creamer… I’d rather eat my calories!! 😉

      Me too!! I started really limiting my alcohol intake too. As much as I love wine, I think I love chocolate more. 🙂 -Lisa

      I used to drink the best coffees at Starbucks…White chocolate Mocha with caramel, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Mmmm. Can we say 900 calories??

    I’m glad I found your blog! Your story is incredible 😀

    I used to be addicted to diet coke! It might have been 0 calories but the chemicals seriously messed up my brain lol. I was cranky!!

      Thanks! I was addicted to diet soda too! I would drink it all the time because it was zero calories! I’m with you, I felt icky because of it. -Lisa

    I too love Vitamin Water, but have switched over to Vitamin 10 and only about 1-2 a month. I admit, I just picked up one today because I got a free coupon by becoming a fan of their Facebook Page. I do love free stuff.

      Free stuff is always better than stuff we pay for! 🙂
