Today was day one of quitting soda. Last night I was worried that today would be extremely difficult, but I’m finding out that it’s much easier than I thought on the first day. I’ve read many places that the second and third days are the hardest, so today may be a fluke. The morning was really easy. I’ve been drinking a ton of water (it’s only 1:30 and I’m almost done with my second bottle), and other than that haven’t replaced the soda with anything. The hardest part of the day is usually post-lunchtime. Almost every time I finish lunch it feels like it’s time for a nap, and today was no exception. Generally I would combat that feeling with a Dew or a Red Bull, but not today. I went for a short walk outside, came back in, swigged some water, and went back to work. Surprisingly I’m alright. I feel slightly more lethargic than normal and have definitely had cravings. It was my boss’s birthday celebration today so a few of my coworkers threw her a party. At this party they had a few two liters of Pepsi, Sierra Mist, and something else. I definitely am used to social soda drinking, and that’s where the strongest craving came from. I resisted though.
Plenty of day left to go, but my resolve is holding extremely strong. After writing the first entry, I got a lot of amazing feedback from people – a few of which considering the quit as well. That really helps me go on, because if me quitting motivates other people to quit, then I’m not giving in for ANYTHING.
