for real... i agree with you!! my mom's friend does this - and she's like 300 pounds!!! it drives both me and my mom crazy.

i grew up in a household where both my mom and grandma were always on a diet. they are BEAUTIFUL women (grandma used to be a professional model) and have never been overweight - they just are extremely conscious of it.

so growing up i never had soda, sugary juice, candy...everything was low-fat (which later on...everyone all learned it's not the fat but the calories to watch for primarily). i think it's pretty easy for me to just ignore that kind of stuff and not need a substitute because i never was used to it. i think i really like seltzer water (the naturally flavored kind) but that's about it...
