So I have officially been off of my mt dew (well ALL carbonated beverages) addiction for 2 weeks. It's fucking amazing man. After the first 24 hours I had energey i didnt know i had, my want to get out and do shit increased x100. It's kind of fucked up cause i thought mt dew was supposed to make you feel like you had more energy not suck the life from you. But in 2 weeks of drinking nothing but water and gatorade, ( not at all changing my eating habits......yet) i have dropped 10 pounds. I shit you not. awesome sauce.

It's wierd honestly....but all carbonated drinks taste like shit to me now. I had a second of weakness a few days ago and poured a very small amount of dew into a very small glass and it tasted awful. My wife got a coke the other day and i accidently grabed it instead of my sweet tea (were in the same kind of cup) and it tasted like shit too.
A far as smoking goes......ugh. I need to quit, I have the want to quit, but holy hell it's hard. The oral fixation part of it has alot to do with it. But I am tired of having to go to the dentist 4 times a year rather than 2 cause my teeth look like shit and tired of waking up in the morning with the taste of chemicals in my mouth. It's fucking nasty. I smoke 2-3 packs a day, I dont even think about what I'm doing unless I'm out of cigs, then my only goal is getting to the store for more. I'm tired of living my life like that. " OMG last smokie....gotta drop everything and get to the store!".....yeah fuck that. I'm way too much of an asshole and way to millitant to have such stupid minute irrellivant bullshit having so much control over my life,habits and behaviors.
All of this has come about because, well honestly, i just turned 30. And I have beat the shit out of my body with automotive chemicals, smoking, drugs and everything else for the better part of 2 decades and i decided it was time to go to the dr and make sure i'm not all jacked up. well, my blood preasure was sky high. been that way for 2 years. a week after i quit doing the dew it dropped almost back to normal. and i have wieghed EXACTLY the same wieght (235) for 3 years. which even the dr found odd. no fluctuation whatso ever. basically my metabolism maxed itself out, so i wasnt going to get any bigger, and not any smaller with my current habits. So, like I said i dropped mt dew and found out real quick that i was more or less poisoning myself with it and dropped alot of wieght fast as hell.
My goal is to look semi normal on my Harley. It's a skinny bike and i know i look funny on it. But my wife said if i drop to 190-200lbs and quit smoking....I GET A NEW HARLEY AS A PERSONAL REWARD
well, new to me anyways. You know me, as Ganci put it " old and cool, not new and reliable :P"

I gave up all carbonated drinks in 93 and they taste like serious shit to me now.
I have been drinking mostly water ever since and it's to the point where I actually crave water. It's almost like an addiction to water, I have to have it.Comment

I too kicked the soda habit about a year ago. Drinking plain water is just a nightmare because it's so unappealing! TRY THIS... go to Wal-Mart and get their "Great Value" brand drink mix. It comes in a miniature Pringle's can looking canaster. It's artifically flavored, sugar free, and only 48 calories a pitcher! There's 6 little sealed cups of powder in them, and 2 make a gallon... just add water. And I PROMISE YOU not even your kids can tell the difference from Cool-Aid. BEST PART? It's $1.78 for a canaster that makes 3 gallons total. Best flavors are grape, fruit punch... and my daughter's favorite is when I blend one cup of apple with one cup of cranberry, tastes just like Ocean spray Cranapple.
So if you want to flavor your water & be healthy... TRY IT! And think of the $$$ you'll save in the process. I can post a pic of this stuff if you need it, it's located with their other powdered drink mixes.Comment

I made a pack with a close friend that if she would stop smoking weed, I would stop drinking soda. I went for about a month. I fell off the wagon a couple of times, but for the most part stuck to it. I did loose about 20 lbs. but I didn't really notice a change in my energy.
Sadly though...now I smoke and she does too...go figure.Comment

I don't like those water additives, they ruin the taste of water. I like the taste of just plain water, and will choose it over anything else to drink.Comment
