stop drinking coke

I had been doing pretty well at the end of the school year, completely giving up Diet Coke and limiting myself to 1 Coke a day, but then we went on vacation…. I’m somehow at my worst when we are traveling. I drank Diet Coke like there was no tomorrow. Since we’ve been back, I am doing slightly better, but only slightly. I am off Diet Coke again, but I had three Cokes today! Aargh! That’s all kinds of calories and sugar I don’t need. Good thing I checked this website tonight. I needed some incentive to be good again. :)

Well, there were 3 Cokes left in the house, but they’re all gone now (yes, I drank them, call me weak, I know) and I didn’t buy any at the grocery store this week. So now I’m off the stuff. For today, anyway. :)

The first thing I had to do was give up Diet Coke. I was drinking it all day long to the exclusion of anything else. Yikes. It took me a full year to actually kick it, but I have been Diet Coke-free since Christmas. I have been fairly good since then about only drinking one Coke a day, but as it is warming up I notice I am drinking more Coke. It’s making a huge difference in my figure, and I do mean huge literally. Okay, not HUGE, but noticeable. Anyway, I know I can do this because I gave up my beloved Diet Coke. It’s just a matter of doing it.
