stop drinking soda
Day 1 3 weeks ago

I’ve taken myself off my anxiety meds and I’ve stopped smoking. This is the third goal I want to tackle. I want to be a healthier person and have more energy. I already feel so much better by accomplishing my first two goals.

I’ve been drinking soda since I was born. I swear I think my mom was putting it in my bottles. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t drink it. I’m more addicted to soda than anything else so this will be very hard for me. I don’t want to just cut it down because limitation is not in my vocabulary when it comes to soda. If I drink just one, then I will have another and another. So I will be going in cold turkey on this one. Its very hard when every restaurant you go too only offers soda. I hate the pressure to drink it. There is so much sugar and carbonation in it. I can’t imagine why people would want to put it into their bodies. I don’t know why I want to drink it.

The caffeine cravings don’t bother me. Its the lack of the fizz that gets to me. There is something about the fizzy, bubbly taste when you first take a swig of Dr. Pepper that keeps me going back for more.



stop smoking (read all 3 entries…)
Augghhh...the cravings! 1 month ago

I haven’t had a cigarette in 6 days. I stopped smoking when my withdrawal symptoms from my antidepressents stopped. I told myself I didn’t need them anymore and that I can do it. I still crave them like crazy. Its weird because when I don’t have them, all I can think about is how nice it would be to just have one. Then once I get it, I will take a couple puffs and then wonder why I was craving it so badly. They taste horrible, stink and its a digusting habit. Hopefully I can keep going. I’m really trying very hard at this.



start using reusable shopping bags
Being consistant 1 month ago

Damn I suck at this! I’ve tried so many times to remember and grab them stupid bags but I keep forgetting. Even when I take them with me, I end up forgetting them in the car when I walk into the store.
