It's been thirteen weeks since I stopped drinking soda.
That's the longest I've ever gone in my life.
I did have one relapse. We went to see Zootopia on one of our Friday Family Fun nights and I got a soda for all of us to share. I didn't want to be selfish and get an unsweet tea since I'm the only one that likes it. I also didn't want to pay over $5 for another drink.
In retrospect, I should have gotten them a soda and a water for myself. But honestly, I hadn't thought it through so when they asked what drink, I kinda panicked and didn't even think of that as an option. I was also distracted on my phone and rushed since the movie was about to start...so obviously panicking doesn't ever lead to good decisions.
In the grand scheme of things, it's still not bad. Especially for me. I was kinda worried it would open the floodgates but it didn't. I just chalked it up to a one time deal and moved on.
Of course, right now what I want more than anything is a Dr. Pepper. Which is why I'm writing this. I'm trying to remind myself that I've gone
My goal is to complete the entire year without another one. That's probably one of the hardest things I'll ever do but that's what I have planned.
Yeah, I know - it's kinda ridiculous that something like that makes the "hardest ever" list. I know it's lame...Maybe someday I'll do something impressive like run a marathon or train for a triathlon. Or maybe even just run 7 miles.
But today, it's not drinking a Dr. Pepper.
****Amendment****
I am totally allowing myself one on my birthday. You only turn 40 once so hell yeah, I'll be drinking that Dr. Pepper. That's really all I want for my birthday anyway...just give me a huge Dr. Pepper and a lot of love and I"ll be a happy, happy girl.
