It's a bit of a running joke though isn't it? Someone fat orders high calorie food at the same time as they seem to be trying to limit their calories by choosing a low calorie drink. Ha ha.
However, although I see that there's a mismatch there which looks funny, I don't think it's the wrong thing to do.
I just see changing from drinking high sugar softdrink to low calorie soft drink as a butterfly scale. A change for the better. Water instead of soft drink would be even better. A wholemeal roll with lowfat beef and a side salad - even better. A mountain of french fries, a large shake and a couple of extra burgers with it, even worse.
While we're trying to change from bad habits to good habits we ourselves need to see all improvements for what they are and hang on to them. This is both a daily thing and a long term thing. In a day, we might have an impulse moment that we respond to and eat something we regret. That needs to sit in a bubble. It needs to be separate from the rest of the day. Acknowledging regret is one thing, deciding that this mistake confirms us (me), as someone who isn't worth taking care of, and then being careless about the rest of the food that day is another step back and a much bigger one than the first.
We all understand that changing a fat, awkward person into slim, agile person isn't going to happen overnight. Also, changing bad habits into good habits isn't going to happen overnight. They each require butterfly scales.
