I'm a Quitter!

I made it through an entire month without drinking any soda! I won't lie. There were times that I struggled. Like when I went to a work conference and there were cans of soda everywhere I looked. And not just any soda. Mug Root Beer.

Ohhhh.Emmmm.Geeeee. I stared at the cans, imagined the taste but decided to be strong!

Soda is tasty but has NO nutritional value and it actually bad for you through and through. I highly recommend cutting soda from your life.

And in the spirit of being a quitter, I am going to quit something else in February but I need your help. I was thinking of quitting candy but with Valentine's Day coming up, I need to eat 12 brazillion pounds of Conversation Hearts. Yes, I need to. Don't you??

So I have two options: Starbucks or Fast Food. Fast Food does not include restaurant food although I am trying to 1) cut back on going out to eat and 2)make smarter choices when I am at a restaurant.

VOTE in the comments. Starbucks or Fast Food? What should I quit in February?

Whichever one you have most often. :)

I vote Starbucks. If you eat fast food, while it's not great for you, at least you are eating it as a meal. A starbucks drink is just empty calories that add up. And, their expensive, so you can totally save money by drinking your brewed at home coffee. Good luck Quitter! You're doing a great job already!

I'd start with fast food. I haven't eaten it in years, and believe me... once you're off of it for a good chunk of time, you will never want to go back.

Seriously--I've had it maybe 2-3 times in the last 7 years. And the last time was easily 4+ years ago.

You can do it!

Hey, way to go on the soda! I am toe-ing into that pool ... I've cut down my consumption of Diet Pepsi by about 2/3 over the past two weeks.

Give up fast food! There's NOTHING that's good for you in that junk. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
