Sometimes it is good to be a quitter

Those who know me can tell you I have not always done the right things.  I was a defiant know it all teenager who in the struggle for Independence made almost every bad decision one could make, I have grown a whole lot over the years but not as much as I should of or when I should. It was only the past few years, once I got sick, that I started speeding up the process.

My latest I have gotta quit you is......Soda (P-ahhh-p to you Chicagoans). I have been a hard core soda addict for longer then I care to admit. Lately, because of my health issues, I have been paying closer attention to what I put in my body and that lead me to read up on High Fructose Corn Syrup. Well having Diabetes in my family I began to side eye the soda. Could it? would it? Then I saw Dr Oz (Love him, Move your show to Chicago Dr. Oz we need you). He had a soda challenge here and I decided to take his challenge. I have just yesterday evening switched to diet and I am already cutting way back because ewwww. I am nervous, will I be successful? Well I will have to update ya, wish me luck.

Goodbye Dr Pepper, I miss you already, too bad your no good for me.

RIP 2010
