OK, so I know that soda is the worst enemy of mine an my weight issues. I've gone through high school and college fluctuating my weight from 155 to 180. Now I'm at my heaviest ever, 195 : (.

I know the biggest culprit of mine is soda, but it's so good and 'adictive' to me. My husband recently found some pics from his photog class fourish years ago. And OMG, I was about 160 then and thought I was fat, but looking at it from todays perspective, I want to be there again, happy and healthier.

I consume about a 20 oz per day (averaging over a week period) How can I get myself to cut it out, or limit it extremely in my diet.

Please don't give me "drink more water instead", "just don't" type answers. It's a real issue for me and I need some tricks, inspirations, substitutes (but never diet sody, UCK!).

Thanks in advance for all the serious and truthful answers.

ok, here's the situation: i have been married for just a little over a year and apparently my wife has absoloutly no desire or interest in sex at all. i'm only 31 and she's only 29, yet we have sex only once a month, twice a month if i'm lucky. i am always the person to initiate sex. when we do have sex, she has difficulty achieving lubrication, no matter how long forplay is involved, we have to use lubrication to have sex. neither one of us were virgins, yet she was very ademant about waiting until marriage until we had sex...so, we dated for about a year and a half before we got married and this is apparently what i get for the wait. this is my first marriage, but she has been married before. her first husband cheated on her. other than our lack of a sex life, we get along great. it's difficult for me as a man to live in this unfulfilling sexual relationship. is there something i'm doing wrong? is there something wrong with her? i have never been with a woman like this

My 14 year old son came in the other night dressed as a female with make-up, a wig, a mini-skirt, in full womens dress. I am a very old fashioned, traditional person. I dont like girly boys or crossdressers. I want my son to be a masculine man. When he came in I shouted "what the hell do you think you are doing?" and he said it was girls night out at the club. I threatened to ground him for a year and he called me a close-minded redneck piece of sh*t that will never be worth anything. I gave him an old fashioned beating with my belt and it left a small mark on him. He called the police, and I was arrested that night, and my son said things like "stupid dumba$$ redneck is going to the cage with the other animals" all the way out the door. the police did nothing in response to my sons behavior. I am out of jail now, and there is no restraining order to my knowledge. what should I do? My son told me I will never change him. My wife(who I love dearly) and him currently live alone
