Soda NSV

I have a serious problem with soda, well more specifically dark sodas like Pepsi and Coca Cola. I can drink ginger ale on occasion and not have a problem. But ONE Pepsi and I am hooked all over again. The last time I drank it was September 29, 2010. My husband bought 2, 24oz Pepsi's to help a friend out with some contest. I have not drank either and haven't even wanted to drink one. Super proud of myself :)

    That's great! I'm still mostly hooked, but I don't buy sodas to drink at home anymore. Sodas at restaurants are still a huge temptation.

    Oh good work! I agree, soda is the work of the devil. Have you read a book called "sweet poison" by David Gillespie? A real eye opener about fructose the main ingredient in soda.

    The first few days were bad with headaches. I found taking excedrin helped best, I guess since it has caffeine in it.
