Back at Christmas I was pretty sick. Bad cold that turned into a sinus infection. During this time, one of the things that seemed to help with the coughing was fountain pop. Specifically Cherry Coke or Coke when cherry wasn't available.
I was sick for over a month and began to drink a large coke 1 - 2 times a day. After getting better, I continued to drink a large cherry coke at work a day (sometimes twice). I loved it and enjoyed every minute of it. That is until my weight started creeping up.
I knew why it was and I just couldn't stop. I was addicted to my daily Cherry coke fix. I craved it. I had to have it. Plus, this was how i got my caffeine to stay awake. I don't drink coffee, so I had to get it some other way.
Sigh.... I'm here to say "My name is Laurie and I'm a fountain pop addict. It's been 7 days since my last fix and I'm jonesin for some."
Seriously people this is hard. I never was like this before. I could easily quit pop, but then again I was never drinking it like I was. It's hard stuff and I need to find another way to get some energy in the mornings to get me going. Too bad coffee tastes like...coffee.
The hub and I finally got on the same page and are back to eating healthier/on our diet plan.
We're only 4 days in , but that is a big step considering how we were eating for awhile (especially when our kitchen was in disarray).
My knee still kills and I still need to get another injection scheduled. My body still aches from the Fibro and all my mishaps. I've recently had my meds adjusted and I'm feeling a little better.
SO...... no progress reports, but baby steps...
