It's 4:30 on DAY ONE of NO COKES. I awoke this morning thinking, "Well, maybe I could just have my usual TWO Diet Cokes for breakfast and then I won't drink anymore the rest of today." But I knew that would be disastrous. So I made it through breakfast without....and all morning without....(drank lots of water).....and through lunch....(drank iced tea).....and now I've made it almost through the afternoon and am doing fine. I have felt quite lazy today....don't know if that's due to not near as much caffeine intake as usual. No headache yet. I was dreading the headache because when I was a teenager and didn't have my Coke by noon, the headache would be ferocious.
I can't tell you how good this feels to have made it thus far today. I weighed this morning so while I'm not willing to share my poundage, I hope to share some lossage as the days go by.
I'm doing it. I'm really doing it. And now I have so many ideas about what else I might be able to accomplish with a little self discipline.
