Last night, after getting home from some errand running, my husband wanted to go get a soda and I went with him. However, I did NOT get myself a soda. I got an iced tea instead. Still a flavored beverage, but less carbonation and less chemicals. I think. At any rate, it's also far less expensive.
This afternoon, as part of getting ready for a trip I'm about to make, I had to walk across town to visit our cell phone carrier. This trip normally would have resulted in me stopping and taking a break at Burger King or McDonalds and picking up something to eat and a soda to drink. Instead, I walked there and straight back home, which probably saved me about $7. I had water when I got home, and again found that having water with my meal leads me to eat less than I normally would.
So far, I'm not finding it much of a challenge to leave soda behind. Talk to me again in 10 days, or when I'm at a party or out at a fast food restaurant and my attitude might change, but here's to hoping this lasts.
