    purplefibermom feels hung-over even though I didn't drink anything last night

    Once I got past the first few weeks of sugar and caffeine cravings 18 months ago

    this goal was really simple. It was just a matter of making a choice to drink something else – usually water. I have noticed the lack of choices at many events – but water is usually available.

    Thank you team for sticking together for the whole year. Yippee!

    Done! 18 months ago

    I’m glad this is done. It wasn’t too hard, since I didn’t drink pop more than once a month on average anyway before this goal, but there were a couple of times that I did have to deny myself at inconvenient times. But now it’s done, and congrats to everyone who accomplished it together!



    Deni H is a master's degree student! WOW!

    I think I did well. 18 months ago

    I’m glad that I did this, because I really do not like most soft drinks any more. I’m happy with what I did for this goal, and feel like it’s been worth it in the long-run.

    Julie Can't wait to start over...

    I've done it... 18 months ago

    And succeeded! I do not buy soda at all.. Forbidden!! In our house we have water, fresh brewed tea, gatorade and milk in the refrigerator. I know it sounds boring… But, it is alot healthier than drinking soda.

    When I was in 3rd grade.. My teacher did an experiment with us. A classmate had lost his tooth so she put the tooth in Coca-cola. In 3 days the tooth was decayed and almost gone!!!!! Can you imagine what it is doing to your bones??

    I want to thank Deni again for starting this goal 19 months ago

    I am so happy that I’ve stuck with this. I just read an article today on WebMD that says drinking 1 soft drink a day can increase your risk of developing Metabolic Syndrome by 50%.

    A little more than 2 weeks left to check off as done, but a lifelong habit firmly in place for good!

    Can you believe... 19 months ago

    that we have LESS THAN A MONTH left for this goal??? Wow! I’m excited about it, because in this year I truly have learned to live without them for the most part. I don’t like a lot of soft drinks any more, and I’m thrilled for that result. That was what I was trying to do with this goal in conjunction with breaking my caffeine addiction.

    I was about to mark this goal off, but after reading Deni H entry I will wait until January 2nd to do it. I am doing good in this but I have to admit that I am not a 100% perfect when it comes to these drinks, let’s say I am between a range of (90 – 99)%

    We're... 20 months ago

    less than two months away from completing this goal. I’m excited. I hope that Des will let me check this one off on January 3, 2008. I think I’ve definitely gotten in the habit of drinking other things, and have found out when I’ve had to make exceptions that I generally still do not like that many varieties of soft drinks. I plan to keep them extremely limited after this goal is checked off.

    Can't wait 20 months ago

    to mark this goal off. I know I’ll be having them again – just not a lot, like before I took this up really – maybe even a bit less. I don’t like refusing myself this totally. I like to have the option.
