ADDICTION!!

For as long as I can remember I have been addicted to Diet Pepsi. I love everything about it. When I was pregnant with Jaxon I quit drinking it, but then once he was born I started up again. I actually had one with my dinner once I could have food after my c-section. I tried to quit when I got pregnant with Jace, but I couldn't do it for the life of me. I think that is when my addiction really started to get bad. I couldn't even quit for the baby growing inside me. Ever since then I have tried to either quit or cut back, and have failed at both of them. It seems like once I tell myself that I am going to quit I want it even more. So last night I decided I am going to quit cold turkey, and I am 100% sticking to it this time. I know I will feel so much better and I could lose the extra pounds I have around my mid section if I just stick to it. So I am going to journal throughout my recovery process. I think it will help me and it will be fun to look back and see how I felt during the whole process.
So today I did really good. I didn't have a single drink of it. But boy did I want one. I am really trying to stay away from the artificial sweetener that is in it. But I did have a couple glasses of iced tea with some sweet n low in it. I just wanted to get it out of my fridge. So now if I make tea I am not going to put the sweetener in it, and I am going to drink a lot more water. I even put a gallon of water in my fridge so it will be nice and cold for me when I need it. I have not had a real craving for it today, but it is only day one. We will see what the rest of the week holds for me.
