diet pepsi be gone




Six months ago today, I stopped drinking diet pepsi. Those who know me well, know that I used to drink a diet pepsi every day and sometimes it was a couple of cans by the end of the day. It did cost a bit and I am sure that added up, but that is not why I removed it from my diet. The artificial sweetener in it, probably wasn’t good for me, but that was why either. Last June, I did a 10 day cleanse and during those 10 days decided to make a couple of dietary changes. One was to remove a scrumptious, creamy, non-dairy, creamer from my coffee—it contains partially hydrogenated oils and the other was to delete the diet pepsi. I just was drinking it too much. It seemed to have a hold on me and water is so much better for me. It has been six months and I still have two cases of diet pepsi in the pantry. I guess I am safe now. I have broken the habit. I don’t even think about reaching for one any more.
