I'm already healthy! All that's been available lately has been orange juice. I get real cranky [especially if I'm stressed] if I don't have a soda... Well, anyway, my mom gives me ONE soda a day for lunch and I got mad because she's hiding it... I looked for it and I can't find it ANYWHERE... :( Should my mom be doing this? FYI - I usually only have 2 a day, at the most, 3. I even offered to pay for it..

It's unhealthy that you have 1 a day! this of this. Fill a 1/2 cup with sugar. that is how much suger (respectively) you are putting in your body every time you drink a soda. This should disgust you. Not to mention the amount of unnecessary caffiene and high fructose corn syrup you are drinking. I am 14 years old, and I am well aware of the effects of poor eating. Your mom is right to hide the soda, its alarming that she would buy it at all! Though it may not show on the outside (weight) it's still clogging your arteries, slowing your immune system and making you more prone to type 2 diabetes, on the inside. It's important that you start watching that you eat veggies fruit, fiborous foods, and whole grains NOW while you're young to make sure that your body is healthy enough. You should be drinking water. you can have a lot of bad stuff happen to you because of a lack of water.
Try drinking cranberry juice, or if you're really craving carbonation, mix juice with fizzy water. it tastes really good.
I know I sound harsh, but it really scares me that you drink so much soda and i feel like i need to tell you how horrible just 2 a day really is for you. its like digested suicide, in a nutshell
PS healthy is not a reached goal, you need to keep going and be consistent with good habits in all aspects of life to maintain your health

I had a chum who's mom went with the aid of her diary. She'd written stuff approximately her overwhelm in there. Her mum stated as her a slut, slapped her around the face and point-headed her for 6 months. i be attentive to the way it feels prefer to have your diary study and ridiculed. the wear has been executed by utilising her snooping. What you're able to do is strengthen your hiding places. choose for a niche she could in no way think of of-like interior an prolonged lost video case disguise, pillow case, and so on. Do each little thing on your potential to stop her from looking it. If she's the take a seat and communicate mum, have a communicate along with her approximately how she quite harm your thoughts. If not, confront her and permit her be attentive to you're annoyed-and then in basic terms permit it bypass. stable success.

Hey, I love soda too. Its great and I drink it religiously all day long. Your mom may not share the same view. Oh well, what can you do man, she’s your mom and probably looking out for your health. Don’t go berserk ! I am sure you can scrape up some money to buy some when she is not around.
Hey its not a big deal.

Well, is there another reason (like maybe your teeth) that she is taking it away? You really should ask her what her exact reasoning is for that (in a respectful and decent way). I hate to say this but if she is limiting it because she wants you to be healthy, then it shouldn't be in the house at all. Further, by denying you something you are accustomed to having all the time she is actually just reinforcing your desire for it. Good luck and really try to see if you and your mom can come to some sort of compromise!!!

Your mom is wants the coke for herself, or maybe she wants you to have a healthy diet
YOU shouldn't even drink soda, kid, once a week, okay, but 3 times a day???
you could burn a whole in your esophagus when you drink too much, later on in life, believe me, yor mom knows what shes doing.

If this is the worst thing you have to complain about, you've got it pretty good, kid.
Drink the orange juice and quit whining. As long as your mom is making the rules, you're going to have to learn to live within them.
Go have a cookie.

You're addicted to caffeine buddy. Get your fix otherways, like chocolate milk. It's supposed to be as effective as an energy drink. :) Your mom has every right to do this. Soda isn't good for you, even if you are "healthy". Caffeine is really bad for your bladder, too.
I'm from the south too and we always called it coke. :)

Ugh, my mom always hid the soda.
It pissed me off cause it wasn't about me being unhealthy, it was because she didn't want me to drink it all and leave none for her.
So she would hide ALL of it, and since she never drank it it would get old and expire and taste like crap.
My suggestion, buy your own and keep it in your room.
