The Greening of Kelly

I have been an avid Diet Coke drinker (um, addict) for years…and years! Diet Coke was my coffee and my constant companion. I rarely let us run out and if we did for some reason, I was climbing the walls until I could make an emergency run to the store.

I’ve known for years that it probably wasn’t good for me. I knew that it wasn’t real food. Chemicals and aspartame…yum! Those things can’t be good for me. I have quit several times over the years, but have always fallen back into the habit.

I have quit once again. I feel it’s important, but it won’t be easy. So far I have substituted with iced tea with sugar (about 1/2 the sugar of regular sweet tea) and water. Give me some time and I might move on to caffeine free varieties of tea as well as further reduce or eliminate the sugar, but not immediately! Like I said, it has to be doable and easy or it won’t stick!

It’s been a week and three days. Wish me luck!
