Ode to Soda Pop!!!!

My name is Mendi and I am addicted to soda. I don't drink a 64oz of soda but I do have 2-12oz cans a day and that is 370 calories on soda!! I have tried to stop the morning soda but then end up with major caffeine headaches and then I am right back to my two a day and as I think of trying to be healthier this is clearly the 1st thing that needs to go but it is sooo hard.... I feel like a junkie but I am giving up the POP for thirty days!!!

I found this article for extra  motivation to "Stop the POP"  here is the first paragraph that caught my attention.
Some people drink soda pop as if it is water, some even instead of water. Sure, the primary ingredient is water, but, with all the other “stuff” it contains it can have a…toxic…poisonous…lethal…venomous… seriously harmful effect on your entire body. Drinking soda pop is a sure-fire way to age faster. Read it here
Ohhh soda pop how I do love you but alias it is time to go as I drink my last sip of cold mountain dew - in the can I am sad and not looking forward to the terrible f'n headache that I will receive in the morning but I am armed with my Excedrin and hopefully that will get me through these next 30 days!

Anybody else have a vice they want to quit with me????

    YES .... cokes (we call all carbinated drinks down here cokes) are not my thing. However, I will give up heavy, rock-star quality partying while you give up cokes. I'm done!!!!! All good things must come to an end. My body can no longer handle the abuse. I'm too old to be covered in bruises from partying to hard and waking up full of regrets. Re-donkey-ulous. Count me in (and let me know when the 30 days is up ... we have a 4 days lake trip coming up)!

    So I don't have one thing that I get everyday but I have several things that when put in front of me I seriously have ZERO CONTROL!!! These include: zebra cakes, donuts, pop tarts, birthday cake (not with that whipped icing shit but the real good butter cream)and these amazing cookies are local grocery store makes called doozie cookies (two cookies, which I ususally get chocolate-chococlate chip and sandwiched inbetween these two cookies is about 2 inches of butter cream icing-sooooo good!)Any of these placed in front of me and it is like crack! I will hord them and hide them just so I don't have to share with my husband or co-workers. When a friend is going to a shower or b-day party I will ask them to bring me a piece of cake back and just tell the person it is for their kid or something. So although I don't have these everyday, I long for them constantly! I'm going to the store.
