I gave it up.
I wrote here that it was one of the forty things I was doing before I turned 40.
So, I did it.
I gave it up.
There's no turning back, right?
I wanna turn back so bad.
But, I won't.
I won't turn back.
and now, for some strange reason, the song Living on a Prayer is running through my mind.
It could have something to do with needing extra help giving up this guilty pleasure.
Speaking of Bon Jovi, my hair looked freakishly like his in 1989.
I'll have to muster up the courage to show you sometime.

I will show you my big hair if you show me yours. Good luck on staying free of the evil/wondeful liquid. I have given it up many time and then get sucked back in. Maybe I will try again soon. You are inspiring me to do this 40 before 40 thing, I love a list and even more I love marking things off of a list. Hope you have a great weekend.

That drink is an evil necessity in our house. DC for Vance and Coke Zero for me. I'm sure this bloat would go away if i would.just.stop drinking it. good for you. and good for your list. i need one of those lists!
ReplyDeleteOh girl I hear ya. I tried to do that a few years ago and the cravings NEVER went away! Every time I went out to eat I still wanted it BAD. So as I sit here with my Coke Zero...I'm wishing you luck;)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I give up diet coke every year for Lent and then when Lent is over, I start the addiction all over again. Ughhh! I can only imagine that this is what an addict feels when he or she has to give up a drug. It is so hard....
ReplyDeleteYes Pictures please! As long as you are not wearing those pants he always wore...:) You can do it 40 is soooo far aways for you...you'll get'm all done before 31:)
ReplyDeletegood for you, it is a hard habit to break, I tried it several times and it always came back to get me! However, I was forced to a few months ago...unwillingly...uhem...so I am right there with you my dear, you go girl!
ReplyDeleteShow your hair!! We all had it :) Good luck with the Diet Coke!!

Hey,
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I know from personal experience that giving up soda is really hard. Do you know what I found that helped. Bubble water, like La Croix... or San Pellegrino. Both don't have the sugar or artificial sweetner...but you get your bubble fix. Just a suggestion. Good luck!
oh *sigh*. i love it too. i don't buy any for home though... but i always get it when i'm out. it's still too much though.
ReplyDeleteOh boy good for you! I feel your pain. Hi, my name is Traci and I'm a pepsiholic!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Blogger friend! Proud of you. :)
ReplyDeletesee, that's the trouble with blogging. i was just fine with my one diet coke a day and then here you go upping the ante. i don't know if i could do it tara. but you be strong and courageous. and i'll pour mine in a styrofoam cup so you can't see and won't be tempted.
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i really want to see that pic. like, really. i'll give up diet coke for a day?
i've mostly given up diet coke. but water can be so boring. but i feel better! keep going!
ReplyDeletemy hair looked like mariah carey's ..... bleh!
Oh my gosh I could never give up Diet Coke. but I only have 1 or even less a week. Good luck with that. Cheers Frances
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I'm not sure I could do the same with coffee. Hold on to what you've got!

Congratulations! I'm a diet coke junkie and I've tried to give it up and just fail! LOL - I have cut back and now I'm trying to drink tea instead.
ReplyDeleteI used to drink so much Diet Coke! I gave it up about three years ago. I don't crave it anymore because I've replaced my addiction with seltzer (soda water). I just need the bubbles. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI gave up my diet coke addiction too...it really seems like an addiction doesn't it? It's been a few months for me...
