Seriously, two years after not having any soda, we'd be somewhere and one of my kids would get a soda (which we let them have rarely, as a treat), and I'd have a nearly overwhelming urge for some. So it's not an easy thing. But I haven't wanted one in a really long time, now, and actually, at this point, the thought of soda kind of turns my stomach.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338335732865718801.post-57260297383219541042013-07-02T11:36:21.289-06:002013-07-02T11:36:21.289-06:00I gave up soda for a year and the results were sta...I gave up soda for a year and the results were staggering. I just felt better! But after that year was up, I just went right back to it. And I think it was cause I just dropped it all at once and just craved it for a year. This time around I am slowly giving it up, drinking more water and less sugars. And hopefully by the end of the year I won't even want it anymore! <br /><br />Thank you for the encouragement! It is so good knowing what happens when I can give it up fully!

And, after, food just tasted better. It was amazing. Sugar really overpowers your ability to taste, and you can't tell until you don't have it there washing the flavor out of everything else.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338335732865718801.post-10553453625344338892013-07-02T11:31:50.734-06:002013-07-02T11:31:50.734-06:00I watch, spy, listen in, try to guess what a coupl...I watch, spy, listen in, try to guess what a couple's "story" is while I watch them at dinner. I blurt out random questions to The Engineer, "What's a good name for a solvent that would un-solder a micro-chip from a circuit board?" "So for Second Earth, would it be possible to build it in chunks and transport them to the site, or should it be built more like the Death Star?" I ask my kids if they'd get into an acceleration pod. "Do I have to go to the airport and go through security?" "No, it would be more like a bus stop and you get in, get unconscious, and wake up at your destination." "Of course, Mom, you know that's what you do on a road trip!" Sigh. Yeah, I'm a writer. And I'm published, so I'm an author. I can stop any time. Really.

I took a poll to see because I heard so many authors saying how much they loved it and the results blew me away! Out of 50 people, two of them had other preferred drinks. The rest all drank Dr. Pepper. <br /><br />But as much as I love it, I am trying to back away from it and stop drinking soda all together.
