habit, shmabit

i like soda.  i do, who doesn't? i used to drink tons of the stuff in high school, but then some how i limited myself to one a day, usually at lunch. then sometimes i'd break my rule and have another with dinner (pizza) or popcorn.  then, my brother-in-law (i should just say brother, i mean he's been around more than not) started working in the back office.  he stocked our fridge with coke, vanilla coke, sprite, and MOUNTAIN DEW!  i never was a dew drinker, but once the smooth, really smooth citrus ran down my throat...i was hooked!  i would be in such a hurry i would never eat breakfast, but that's ok because i had the champion of breakfasts at work.  DEW and POWDERED DOUGHNUTS (from Jade's desk)!  It was dreamy.  Then I would follow up with a coke at lunch and possibly another DEW or vanilla coke in the afternoon.  It was NOT good.  My skin is crap and i just felt bad, but oh so good at the same time.  When my face broke out the worst it ever has, I knew I had to do something.  So I ordered Proactiv and cut out SODA!  Yeah, i did it.  No more of this sweet candy!

So far so good.  It's been almost a week.  I've had Sprite once and a coke once, but I'm blaming kylie.  We shared a drink at Wendy's and he didn't know I was cutting out soda.  So I must always drink when I eat so I drank it.  Surprisingly, I've not had headaches or withdraws.  I still get a craving for an ice cold vanilla coke, but i'm standing strong.  I've seen vast improvements in my skin and I don't feel tired.  I don't think I'll ever be an absolutely no soda person, but i'm not going to be a soda/day person again.  I will always drink it with pizza and popcorn, no one will take that away from me!  It's a habit change. i seriously have to stop and  think about ordering water or tea vs. rolling "with a coke"  off my tongue when i'm ordering out. So instead of soda, i've been drinking this.
 
and LOTS of it.  i feel so clean now! haha, so ridiculous, haha.  but really i can tell a huge difference!  so i challenge you, if soda is your friend, try to replace at least one if not more a day with a big glass of water.  it's best served cold on ice!

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to give up soda. I only last about 2 days. I love diet Dr. Pepper and you are right, I was never a Mountain Dew girl, but I tried a diet Mountain Dew and it was goooood!!

Good for you!!!

just_me_tiff said...

LOL at Abbie! You should stop too! Kolby and I only drink sprite every once in a while...we gave up the dark sodas long ago and Kolby lost about 35 lbs from that alone!
Anyway, I really meant to comment on your "best served cold" in reference to water...I disagree! I love room temperature/warm water YUM :)

Janie Fox said...

i don't do dew... i do drink one diet rite a day it is supposed to be the healthiest diet soda there is ... healthy diet soda is probably an oxymoron but i gave up caffeine so i get credit for that!!

Annie said...

I'm doing good too! I had 2 sprites & one diet at the movies in the past 2 weeks! No withdraws here either! I do crave a good ice cold diet coke though - damn I miss them!

Nicky Stade said...

I don't buy soda, but you're right about having it with pizza and popcorn! Otherwise, I really only drink it if I'm getting fast food. I don't really like fast-food-tea or the lemonade. But I have to agree with Tiffany...water is best served room temperature! ;o)

Jillian said...

I don't like soda! never have :)
So luckily it's not a challenge for me...
BUT I do love a huge glass of ice cold water!
