I am an addict...

I LOVE Mountain Dew.

I love the taste.

I love the sugar rush.

I love the caffeine pick me up.

Sadly, my body does not love Mt. Dew.

My body doesn't love a lot of things I LOVE...

ice cream, carbonation, chocolate, hot chocolate, potato chips...

The list is long. 

As I have gotten older,

(did I just say that?)

I have learned my body (ie: stomach) just isn't the same,

but despite this knowledge, I still don't change,

and I suffer the consequences.

So today, once again, I have quit caffeine.

But of course, not cold turkey!!! 

That would be CRAZY!!!

So this morning I had a (1) can of Mt. Dew,

a measly 12 oz's,

and this afternoon I am dragging. 

The 8 cans left in the garage fridge are calling to me.

But I will hold strong.

I will respect my body,

(not to mention, avoid a night of heart burn and other issues)

So why?

Why is this the 3rd time in 18 months I have done this?

Alas, I am an addict.

I will finally cleanse myself of the EVIL that is carbonation,

and then one drink,

one moment of weakness,

"just one won't hurt"

and I am back here,

Starting all over...
