Could it be?

If you know me, you know that I have one inner demon that I have in my life.

It haunted me every day.

Staring at me every time I opened the refrigerator.

Tempting me in commercials.

Seducing me every time I got a taste.

Mocking me every time I had a thirst.








PEPSI.


That's right, a soda. A caffeinated beverage that I hating feeling dependent on to make it through the day.

5 weeks ago, I said "That's IT!"
No more Pepsi will be stocked in the fridge.
No more downing 4 cans a day.
(Told ya it was bad)
No more emergency runs to the local gas station for a "fix".


NO MORE!

This was something I had previously attempted to do. And failed. BADLY.
And now I am proud to say, proclaim, yell:


I AM NO LONGER A PEPSI ADDICT.



Or is it:

I AM A RECOVERING PEPSI ADDICT. (?)

Anyway, you get it.

Now, I am not going to lie, I allow myself one a week. That is a huge decrease from 4 or sometime 5 a day. The cravings are gone! I have done waaaaay better than I expected. And you know what? I feel so much better! Water has become my new best friend and I am currently obsessed with Propel Zero, Berry flavor. I was hoping to lose weight, but the Oreos I bought at Costco didn't help that task.

Dumb Oreos.
