Confession Tuesday

It has been more than a month since I wrote a confession. I took July off since I was not working. I just needed a break from many things...

For today though, I am happy to confess that I still have not had any soda since I swore it off in April. I am steadily approaching four months now without any at all. :) For those who do not know me that well, you are not aware of how monumental this really is for me. My entire life I have had Pepsi. Even when I was a kid that is what we drank. I never was one to have 5 or 7 in a day, but Pepsi was just about the only thing that I drank. I never had water...hardly ever.

Well, I ain't gettin' any younger ya know...so I felt it was time to change a few things. I have seen several family members become stricken with diabetes in the last 18 months or so. I know that much of it is diet related. Perhaps a bit of it is genetics, but I am convinced that it is primarily diet. I am determined that it will not happen to me. I have never been a big eater, but I was never terribly careful either. I have been making a concerted effort in that department. :) And I am happy to report that I feel much better. I have not lost any weight or anything, but I can feel a difference.

I still want a Pepsi occasionally, but the longer I can go without one the more leverage that I have in convincing myself that I shouldn't. You know that game...I have terrible will power. But I must confess that I am proud of myself thus far. :)
