I just realized I had a NSV

I used to be a soda junkie. I mean, can't go a meal without it, even if I only take a few sips and waste it, so what I'm drinking it, you know what I mean? When I first met my boyfriend I loved coke and pepsi, didn't matter which one, I drank them both. As we got serious, he would get on me (in a nice way) about how pop is bad for you, blah blah blah, so I switched to sprite. After months of sprite, I got on sierra mist...

As the pounds kept coming off, my cals for the day got smaller and smaller, I am now at 1430 a day and my greedy self wants every cal to count so I no longer desire to drink my cals and I usually opt for water.

Last night, for the first time in about 3-4 weeks I had a sierra mist. And it was DISGUSTING! And it wasn't diet either.

Long story short.....I have gotten over my addiction to soda

GREAT!! I used to drink pop, but I wasn't addicted. I could pretty much take it or leave it. On the really rare occasion that I have a pop (nothing else available), I find it disgusting as well!!

Good job on breaking the addiction! It's hard, but worth it! I am a recovering alcoholic, so I know how hard it can be!! :noway:

Boy that was a long story....J/K :-). My problem for years has been Coke. I didnt realize till MFP that i was drinking over a thousand calorries a day. Since giving coke up my complexion has cleared up and I no longer have adult acne. One simple thing can change so much.

Yep, that's a NSV for sure! I don't think I will ever be over a good Dr. Pepper, It still tastes good to me. But I have only had one since March and one was more than enough. I think I am happier with water. It doesn't sweeten up the taste buds and allows me to enjoy the flavors of other foods better.
