Positive Challenge Day 3

Today is a mix of positive with a confession.
I'll start with the confession. I'm a Diet Coke lover. I drink at least one a day. I know, I know. It isn't good for me, all the chemicals. I still like it. I justify it by saying I'm doing other things good so I'm going to allow myself this one vice. Just excuses I know. I had actually given it up for almost a year. But I'm an all or nothing girl. I can't have one on occasion and not have another. I don't work like that.
So, I've decided to give it up. I'm not going to beat myself up for what I've done. I would have in the past. I would have felt awful and been so disgusted with myself for not being stronger. How could I have gotten back into such a bad habit?
It happened - I can't change what I've done but starting Friday (when I'm home from my work trip) I will stop. It's not going to be easy those first few days but in the end I'm going to be so much happier and on a much healthier path.

Good for you for making that decision!!! You can do this!!
You seem like an incredibly strong woman! We are here for you!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
You're so strong Holly! I too allow myself 1 diet coke a day! It's the only little bad habit I have.
I am proud of myself today. Today was my rest day for TurboFire. However, while my kids were at story hour at the library, I put on my gear and ran for 20 minutes. It felt so good and was a nice calorie burn! I've been so tempted to pig out today, but I have resisted!0 -
Thanks!! It's going to be a tough for a few days but I can do this.
Love the support.0
