I'll have a soda every once in a while if it's a crafted rootbeer or something that looks interesting to try. That is probably less than once a month now. But the shit I was drinking like Pepsi, Cherry Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc? That stuff is so sweet now to me it's disgusting.

Look at you meticode. Putting in that health work bro. And always keeping it real.

More like trial and error on what I figured out works for me. I didn't like being 230 pounds at 6'1" years ago. I didn't like the way shitty processed food made me feel. I didn't like being addicted to caffeine and soda. Now I home cook meals or prep them ahead of time 90% of the time and do OMAD. The benefits of OMAD for me is I save money, I don't feel like a slave to food or a need to eat/snack all the damn time, when I do have that one big meal for the day it's tastes f*cking delicious. You get better at cooking too.

I started drinking seltzer in middle school. It’s now my drink of choice. Chilled, not over ice.
Used to think Topo was low grade. Couldn’t have been more wrong. Great stuff in a glass bottle!
Waterloo is putting out some great flavored types.
I rarely have a soda, and I’ve never tried a Jarritos.

Topo Chico is my favorite right now because it's so highly carbonated versus anything else readily available that is easy to obtain. Usually you can find 12 bottle packs at Walmart. It's one of the few brands that has naturally occurring carbonation from its spring, then they infuse it with more carbonation before they bottle it to restore any carbonation that might've been lost during bottling.
San Pellegrino isn't nearly as carbonated, but it's good enough at at most stores.
I usually try to stick to only one or two bottles a day (mostly having them with dinner) since it's more expensive than soda and just drink regular figured water all day.

No I don't. After my divorce years ago I dated a little bit and I quickly found out that if I'm going to find anyone and for it to work it's going to be after my daughter is grown and on her own. My demographic of women is very limited. I can't date a woman who are in my age range and never had kids because those women don't relate to being a single parent. Frankly if you're nearly 40 as a woman and never been married and never had kids it's kind of red flag because then you ask yourself why no one committed to them? I can't date women who have young kids because I'm not dealing with young kids all over again. So my only demographic are women where their kids are almost or fully grown up in my age range. And then on top of that almost all the women I dated in the past don't seem to know what they want. Everything could be going 150% great and be the best month of your life with them as a partner. Then for whatever reason they don't want you. Without any warning. I'm not dealing with that right now. So I invest all my time into my daughter. I'm not seeking anyone out or concerned about dating the next couple years. My only concern is bettering myself and being the best father I can for my daughter.

Let me take a wild guess...you're ex initiated the divorce, huh? I mean you don't gotta answer if you don't want to get too personal, I'd understand...

I probably went over this before on here years ago, but I'm not going to go into details over my private life too much anymore...but no...it was a mutual decision between the both of us and the divorce was 100% my fault for it coming to that. My ex-wife had nothing to do with our marriage ending. It was all on me.

I bought a 12 pack glass bottles of topo Chico, and meticode wasn't lying. Its way more carbonated than san pellegrino or perrier.

I'm pretty sure it's because it's naturally carbonated from the spring it comes from then they add in more carbonation for any that's lost while bottling it. I remember when I took my first drink of it when I drank Pellegrino for so long. That shit bites...in a good way. It's expensive though so I try to keep it at 1 bottle a day if I can.

I don't drink beer and very little alcohol. Honestly, the only reason I drink carbonated water is to keep at bay any cravings I have for soda.
