My Road to Fabulosity

Thanks ksgirrl and Ticotease.

Soda is a hard habit to kick! I was in love with Dr. Pepper for so many years... drank a 32 oz fountain of it on my way to work every morning, had another 32 oz at lunch and another on the drive home from work! When I quit smoking I switched to Diet Coke so I wouldn't gain too much wait from the sugar! (didn't work... gained weight anyway!) I finally quit drinking Diet Coke last May and now I have maybe 1 soda a month. The first couple of weeks were the hardest! I drank a lot of iced tea with lemon and I bought those Crystal Light flavor packets and Propel flavor packets and that helped a lot! The headaches/withdrawals should subside after about a week. Good luck with your journey!!

Most likely, you actually are addicted to sodas and literally are withdrawing. I was a soda junkie too and it's hard to kick the habit, but once I did I realized that I was better able to #1 taste my food, #2 sleep and #3 figure out when I'm full. I could never do that when I was drinking soda, so it's made a big impact! You can do it!

I think you should start donating canned food to food shelters so that you feel better about letting the unfinished food go!
