Whoot Whoot!
I am, officially today, - ONE MONTH COKE FREE!!!
Was it easy? Not so much. Was it as hard as I thought? Not so much. The weekends were the hardest - I was in the habit of grabbing one while I was out and about. Now I just grab a water bottle out of the fridge on the way!
Is the craving gone? I think so. The test will be when I go to Qdoba or Acapulco Joe's - you just have to have a coke there! BUT - I'm also allowing myself to have one IF I REALLY WANT IT. Am I going to order it with my meal? No, I don't plan on it. But if I'm in the mood for one we'll see.
About two weeks ago I was stressed. VERY stressed about something and on the way home from work on a Friday it was snowing and nasty and just yuck. Andrew was at work, Michael was at home. We decided to have Taco Bell for dinner. But after I left Taco Bell I swung into McDonalds drive through and got two large cokes for us. Apparently coke is one of my stress foods (like mashed potatoes!) As I ate my dinner I had a bottle of water with me and my coke sat. I blogged and stitched and my coke sat. Three hours passed and the coke sat. It was always there - but it sat. About 9pm I needed to take my leg medicine. So I grabbed it and took a sip with my medicine. Yuck. It was probably yuck because it sat for 3 hours - but it was still yuck. I haven’t had the desire to get another one since.
So that is where I am at today. I think the hard part is over - now it is just keeping at it!
