It's true. I am completely, 100% addicted to diet coke. I've been known to drink a weeks worth of diet coke in a matter of days.. That can't be healthy. Actually I know that it isn't healthy.
I decided I needed to do something about that. I needed to make a change. Change scares me and especially when it involves cutting something out of my life that I'm so used too and, well, addicted too.
A week ago today I drank my last diet coke. And since then, I've wanted one everyday, multiple times a day. The first week has passed and I've had some sort of a headache everyday. It could be from my group of 1st graders that I have during summer school right now, but I am going to say it's diet coke. (Maybe it's a combination of the two)
What I have realized is. I have diet coke triggers...I realized that I drank diet coke at certain times when I was doing certain things...Here is what I mean..
I went to three different targets today (long story, don't ask! I have a classroom vision!) and everytime I walked into the store, I started right for the food...those diet cokes were calling me.. and they seemed to be taunting me throughout the store. Everyone was drinking one today it seemed..and it was on sale today... But I stayed strong and happily (on the outside) drank my Crystal Light (Raspberry Ice, in case you were wondering) in my Tervis Tumbler that I got from a student at the end of the year... I swear, the awesomeness that is the Tervis Tumbler, makes it easier to drink water!
So here's to my Diet Coke challenge continuing and my new challenge starting tomorrow....
wish me luck...
