So long old friend...


So I drank my last Diet Pepsi today! I am trying to stop drinking caffeine and I'm way sad about it. I love my Pepsi! I always quit with each one of my pregnacies but as soon as I stop nursing I'm right back to drinking it. No, I'm not pregnant. I just want to be healthier and teach my kids to eat right so I'm starting here. If anyone has any words of encouragement I would love to hear it. I'll keep you updated on my days sober from Diet Pepsi!

Oh that is the PITS... I was addicted to Mt Dew for the longest time and when i got pregnant with Wade i quit and the minute i delivered i was right back on it and about 3 months ago i decided that i need to get off ALL TOGETHER. I havent had one since! Now i did have some MAJOR withdrawls and headaches for about a week, but i would just take excedrin migraine and that seemed to help because it had a little caffeine in it.... GOOD LUCK!! I feel a million times better physically since i havent had any :)! Congrats though!! I think its awesome you're getting off of it!

Good Luck! I hate those addictions that you know aren't healthy for you, but they are sooo good! Why is it that things that are healthy for you don't have that addictive quality...hmmm.

Hi Tara, you are so amazing! Your boys are so lucky to have you (all three of them :)). By way of encouragement, my freshman year of HS a bunch of the girls from my cross country team gave up soda for the season, rumor has it carbonation can slow you down. We made it to state that year and after the state race we went out to dinner and told our coach we couldn't wait to have some pop, but none of us could bring ourselves to order it, we all had lemonade. We thought it was pretty funny at the time. Anyway, press forward :). Can't wait to see you guys, for sure we'll have to do lunch!
