What Do I EAT!?

Ok, so I have to really LEARN what to eat and what not to eat!! I am going to do some RESEARCH! I am pre-diabetic and prone to stroke... so this is not only about my weight... this is about my HEALTH. I WANT to live a LONG and HAPPY life! This means I MUST get HEALTHY!

I have read ALL the diet books... but I feel like they are all either the same or completely different! So, I think I could take some stuff from each of them in order to eat really healthy. My problems though are this:

1. I LOVE SUGAR! I have to stop eating sugar though, because I don't want my PRE-diabetes to turn into FULL-BLOWN diabetes!
2. I LOVE BREAD! This is the same as number one, since bread turns to sugar in the body!
3. I LOVE COFFEE! But not just coffee... I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar!
4. I LOVE DIET COKE!! True, it is DIET, but I am thinking carbonation probably isn't so good for me...
5. I AM LAZY!! I am... I don't DO much... 

So, here is where I am going to start, AFTER the 1st of the year!!! Too much temptation before that! :/

• DRINK WATER: 8-8 ounce glasses plus 8 ounces for each 10 lbs overweight = 120 ounces per day
• GIVE UP SUGAR: This is going to be tough, but I am going to detox off of sugar. 
• REDUCE WHEAT CONSUMPTION: Again, this will be tough, but I think I can do it.
• REDUCE COFFEE CONSUMPTION: Ok, I am ADDICTED to Starbucks and I don't want to give it up, so I will just reduce my coffee consumption to one or less cups per day.
• REDUCE POP CONSUMPTION: Again, reduces to one or less cups per day.
• MOVE MORE!!: I will be doing the following on the Xbox 360 every day:
• Zumba
• Dance Central
• Just Dance 4

Ok, there it is... Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!:)
