my love/hate relationship with soda

i have a completely unhealthy obsession with soda.

it's so ridiculous, and it just needs to stop.

we've always had soda around since i was little.  we had a refrigerator in the garage that was only for holding soda.  it was pure heaven.  i have been drinking it since i was little and can't seem to get over this crazy addiction.

i know it's terrible, but nothing seems to help.

i used to drink 3 or more cans a day.  as i've gotten older and realized how bad it is for me, i cut back. i started at 3, then 2, then 1.  and now i'm stuck.  stuck at just 1 soda a day and can't seem to kick it.

i used to always drink pepsi, then sprite, then mountain dew, then diet mountain dew, then caffeine free diet mountain dew, now zero mellow yellow.

during the summer, i went ONE WHOLE MONTH without drinking even ONE soda.  but with the stress of the house building, and the fact that i hated our rental, it has always been my crutch and so i went back on it.

i always justify it with...i don't drink alcohol, i don't smoke, i don't do drugs.  it's the one thing i love.

but it's getting ridiculous and it needs to stop.

i eat mostly unprocessed foods.  organic food.  healthy overall.  i have worked so hard to eat super healthy, and this is the one thing that is SUPER unhealthy that i do every single day.

i am going to quit.  i'm going to give it up cold turkey.  wish me luck!
