The problem with having soda available 24/7 is simple. You drink it. Even when you don't really want one, it's there, so you drink it. Soda drinking is without question my worst habit. I'm hard core, can’t you tell? But drugs are so not my thing, and smoking is gross. I do soda. I'm such a bad ass.
Let's be real though, the wonderfully, sugary effervescence may seem harmless, but it's not. It's bad for your teeth (just ask my mom!). It's bad for your waistline, and I don't give a flying fuck if it's diet. That's even worse. Those chemicals probably turn into formaldehyde in your body. And I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to be embalmed until I'm actually dead. Even when I’m dead I don’t plan on being embalmed, if you want to know the truth. I’m not a fan of tight spaces, so no one better bury me in the ground, that’s all I’m saying. Are you reading this, Mr. FGS? Don’t put me six feet under!
Back to the matter at hand, there's no easy out for this one. MT and I had to drop soda like the bad habit it was. It's the debil. Those first several days without it were a nasty bitch. I'm on day 11 though, and so far (even though it's only 11 am) I haven't even had a craving! That's progress, my friends.
In lieu of liquid Satan, I've been drinking a lot of water and unsweetened iced tea. You don't even have to ask, because I'll tell you. It sucks so hard. However, there's no time like the present to make these changes. Skinny is waiting.
