I've Been Clean for 30 Days!

Oh, Diet Coke with Lime how I do love thee, and Oh, how I miss thee!  You are so good, but oh sooo bad for me.  Yes, that's right, some of you may know, I set a goal to stop drinking all pop and caffeine and I am proud to say that it has been an entire 30 days.  I decided to quit because I felt like I was drinking too much pop,  and as well, a friend reminded me, again, of some of the bad health effects of pop.  It actually hasn't been too bad, I have my water and Crystal Light is my new best friend.  There have been a few times, especially after doing yard work all day and I'm hot and sweaty and thirsty, that I have had a major craving.  I'm not saying I will quit pop permanently, but I definitely want it to be a very occasional treat for me.  I think that it's embedded in my genes that when you have great mexican food, coke is a must.

So...three cheers for ME!

I did that once for "Mormon Lent" -- gave up carbonation and caffeine -- it was so hard. I'm back to having them as a part of my diet again ... Oh, well ...

Stay Strong!! Take it from a former Dr. Pepper addict - stick with it and you will be happy that you did. I don't need it and in about 1 year you will not want it anymore.

Wow that is quite an accomplishment! I am an avid Diet Coke drinker as well but I think I OD'd because I haven't craved it like I used to in a LONG time. Congrats on the achievment!
