Cravings

So, I haven't had any soda since April 1, 2010 which is a great accomplishment after many years of 1-2 per day. I cut it out cold turkey and thought it was going to be difficult but in all honesty, it really wasn't that bad - and I was pms-ing!

But yesterday I wanted one so bad it almost hurt. I could taste the icy cold Coke filling my mouth, the bubbles from the carbonation tickling my nose, that light burn as it passes down my throat. To make matter worse, my lovely 9-year-old-going-on-17 daughter said It's fine to have just one, Mommy." That's like telling a crackhead to have just one hit, it's ok. Lol!

I didn't have one and the craving did pass, thank goodness. However, it made me think about other things in life that I crave. How come it isn't that easy for me to giv eup other things that are bad for me. If all the bad foods I ate were this easy to give up, I'd be at my goal weight by now.

I guess this means I just need to continue working hard and maybe taking out one bad thing at a time. :)
