Unfortunately, there's another bad habit that I haven't been able to shake. I think, though, that I haven't really been ready before now. I'm hoping that like cigarettes, I can quit cold turkey and never look back. While my current bad habit isn't nearly as deadly as cigarettes, it is harmful, and it needs to go.

I shouldn't just single out Dr. Pepper - I'm giving up all soda. But Dr. Pepper has been my favorite for years and years. There's nothing quite like it. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to feel like this after a few days:
With my weight creeping up steadily over the past two months, something has to give. There are a few sodas in the fridge, but once those are gone, I am not buying any more. It has been suggested to me that I just switch to diet soda, but I can't stand the taste of diet, so I might as well just go cold turkey.
Let's just pray I don't hurt anyone in the process. (Or wander through the desert with my underwear on my head.)
I'm so glad I'm not a fan of soda's. I just find them way too sweet.
ReplyDeleteDon't go diet soda, the fake sugar is worse for you than the real stuff.
Good luck either way.
Thanks! I was weak today... blargh. I don't know why it's so hard to give up! But tomorrow is a new day!
DeleteYou can do it! I gave up soda about 6 months ago and I haven't looked back (also quit smoking 2 years ago so I feel you on that, too!) I switched to tea for the midday caffeine and usually drink water or Crystal Light. I've also heard seltzer water with some fruit juice is a good substitute if you need the bubbles. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the seltzer water and fruit juice trick. I have yet to be able to fully kick the Dr. P! Grr!
