Soda Addiction and Me! "My dirty little secret"

Yes it is true I am telling you a dirty little secret I have. I drink only Soda or Coffee! Never water, never never never water. I live on my caffeine and sugar as my son likes to tell me. Yes the image of a Coca-Cola needle use to be me, just hook me up to a IV I would say. Well I made a change, at least I thought I did. Last year I gave up my addiction to Coke. Now let me tell you I could drink a 6 pack of coke a day with out even thinking about it. So for me to give it up was a struggle but I did it. I went with out coke for over 3 months. Then occasionally I would have a coke but it was very rare, and let me tell you it did not taste like it used to. So what did I do. Yes I change over to his best friend Sprite! Yes I know what was I thinking. So now I have a Sprite addiction. So I only drink Sprite or Coffee. That is all. So that is so unhealthy of me. Yes I know it is so bad and I am not setting a example for my kids. I tell me kids everyday to drink water as I go and pour my self another Sprite. Well that is all about to change I hope. My son asked if I could give up soda and coffee for one week. You all smile and say easy. Well I think not. Just writing this post has made me get up and refresh my coffee. For me this is going to be torture. Pure torture. I am sure my weight has alot to do with my love for soda to. Did you know that:

 

"Most of us are chronically dehydrated. And most of us eat when we are thirsty. Our bodies don’t understand the difference between the cravings for water and food very well. The two signals – hunger and thirst are often mis-understood"

 

So with the way I don't drink water that explains why I eat so much. Yes I know that is not how it works. So back on track. My challenge is to drink only water for one week. Seven days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes. For me it seems like a life time. Can I do it I am not sure but I am going to try. I will of course keep you all up to speed on how it is going. So as of 12:00 to night nothing but water with lemon to ease the pain. Lord give me the strength to do this.
