Oh Sprite

So I bought a 12 pack of Sprite to bring to our movie night and ended up taking the leftovers home. I was doing so good!
How to give up pop
It made me
In control 
"It was hard, but once you stop you don't want to go back."
How I did it: Any time I wanted a pop, I'd see what else was available. I usually ended up sticking to my water or getting an iced tea. I carry water with me everywhere and make sure it's always full. As the weather gets colder I tend to want a warm drink instead and I don't think pop would be that great warm...
Though I will have one occasionally I've decided to cross this goal off because I don't need pop anymore. It was a matter of convenience that I just had to get over. It's so much easier to grab a can from the fridge than to pour something else. Now that I have my water bottle, it's just as easy to grab that.
Lessons & tips: Get a water bottle, take it with you, and always keep it full. It sounds silly, but if you're hydrated you won't want that pop. If you're out to eat and are thinking of ordering a pop see what else they have on the menu or simply save the $2 and get water.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I have yet to completely give up pop, but I have reduced my intake. It’s just so easy when I know it’s waiting for me in the fridge in a can. I don’t even have to pour it! This summer I’ve been keeping a water bottle full and within reach. That helps a lot because I then have no reason to go to the fridge since I already have a drink. I’ll occasionally have one when I’m out to eat, but I’m working on that.

at the movie theatre. It still isn’t bad, only one all week long. I will continue to avoid pop.

of no pop! Go me!
Everyone at work laughed that I didn’t have any pop, but I had two cups of coffee. I’m not supposed to switch one addiction for another!

But I needed room for my other goals. I’ve officially given it up and that isn’t going to change in the next month. So, consider it done.

Still going strong! I guess I’ll keep this goal up until I hit two months, by then I should be able to keep going strong.
So that’ll be 7/27/08…
