Kick the Can

I have been trying to get our family off of soda - desperately so since we came back from WV. It seems that any time we travel, we drink a crazy amount of the fizzy stuff. I hadn't bought any soda at all in the last week or so - and then yesterday I wanted a Diet Pepsi so bad I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran to the store and brought a few bottles of the stuff into the house. Then today my friend Carol told me about this story! Unbelievable. I have GOT to get us off of this junk! I am giving my kids poison!

  2. YIKES! I haven't gone cold turkey but I have cut down drastically from the amounts I used to drink! That's an eye-opener!

  3. It is hard. I have found I really don't miss it now that I have broke the habit. I occasionally crave a coke, but when I start drinking it I rediscover why I don't like it. I prefer a drink of water. But I don't deprive myself when wanting a soda (like with pizza.) I think then it becomes the forbidden fruit. I do have to say the longer I go (six months now!) I don't crave it as much. Hang in there!

  6. Yikes! Thanks for the info!

    I noticed you are in Texas. We just moved here about six weeks ago. We're near Plano, northeast of Dallas. Where are you?
