Tommy, I'm so glad you have given up soda pop. It is so addictive, and I know how hard it is to stop. Sometimes I think I can have just one, but then that starts the cravings all over again.
Even better than being thin--I think about all the chemicals, the artificial colors and flavorings, the high fructose corn syrup. It's not just about the way I look, it's about being healthy and strong for years to come.
I hope you can find some healthy substitutes, so you don't miss pop as much. Do you like iced tea? I've found that it's very enjoyable to have with meals. If I want something fizzy, I've been drinking carbonated water. It takes a lot of getting used to because it is not sweetened, but after 6 months, I do like it. Good luck finding some other drinks that you do like!
