Soda substitute

I've never been a soda addict like so many people now a days but from time to time I craved the bubbles. Being a diabetic soda and concetrated juices are basically poison to me. When I found out I was diabetic I immediatly stop drinking sodas and juices leaving only water and 2% milk safe for me to drink. But I'm determined to look for healthier and satisfying options out there. I did find the perfect (in my humble opinion) substitute for soda. It has no carbs no sugar and zero calories and just as satifying. My mother started drinking these but I've never wanted to taste them, they looked questionable to me : ). One day though I did taste one and it was refreshing, it quenched my thirst and satisfied my craving for bubbles. I had my cousin Michelle taste them and now we're both obsessed with them. I really do contirbute a big part of drinking these mineral waters with losing my weight. They can be found at wal-mart, spanish stores and even some gas stations like Shell. If you get them at wal-mart they sell a case of 12 for $7 or singles for .88c. I really do invite you to taste and substitute this drink with your regular high sugar, high calorie drinks and see the differance. Until next time.

Being a plus size girl most of my teenage and adult life buying clothes was never that exciting for me. There was not a lot of option for junior plus size clothing. Until now, thanx to the beautiful fashion goddess. No offense to Lane Bryant but we don't need you anymore, lol, we have options. The other day I was eating lunch with a plus size girl-friend and I was telling her about the different places I like to shop.  To my surprise she didn't know that they sold plus size clothing at the stores we were discussing. If there is any plus size girl out there reading this, listen to me carefully, there are lots and lots of options out there, the secret it to look for them. Since I'm currently unemployed I took the time to do a little research on the matter. I have a list of stores that sell plus size clothing. I might be trying to lose weight but I'm not going for the stick figure look, just trying to get healthy. Speaking of, if you're trying to lose weight, we usually all say the same thing, when we lose the weight we will go shopping. In my opinion you should start shopping now, I know it has helped me get more motivated and confident. Plus looking pretty everyday makes you feel good and helps your self esteem. For example, I have always been self conscience of my arms and back, I never bought anything without longer sleeves. But now that I've lost of couple of inches on my arms I decided to go for it and one day I did it, I put on a shirt without sleeves. I'm not at my ideal weight yet but it feels so good and liberating to have more clothes options. Not because I didn't have them but because my insecurities didn't let me wear them. So go shopping, be daring, wear that dress that you're afraid of, you know which dress I'm talking about. Lose the weight but also lose the fears and you will gain yourself. I will put down below just a short list of the sites and store I know. When I do more fashion blogging I will add more to the list.
