My *goal* when giving up Diet C*ke was two weeks. I wanted to go cold turkey for two weeks. None. Not a drop. I reached my goal yesterday! Yeh for me! It really was not that hard...not like I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, I WANTED one..or ten. But, because I drink coffee or tea, I didn't have any headaches at all. Now that I have reached my two week goal, I hope to use moderation. I would really like to allow myself to drink one a week. If I find that one a week slowly slips into more than that, I may give it up all together. Funny, I never even drank a soft drink until four or five years ago...regular or diet. Then they came out with THIS:
........I was hooked.
The lime..that I LOVE, toned down the artificial sweetener, that I hated. Slowly I dropped the lime, added crushed ice in a styrofoam cup and the rest is history.
I drank a LOT more water during my break!!!
I didn't FEEL any different though!
I guess that's GOOD and BAD.
Good...because I didn't have headaches.
But BAD, because I had read so many others say that they felt so GREAT after giving it up. I didn't notice a change in my energy level at all. Really, NO change. I was hoping for a real tangible reason to stay off the stuff!
So, how about YOU? What have you given up....or what do you NEED to give up?
