...goodbye caffeine.

I have said it before, and I've actually done it before. Each time I slip back in to it. I have had a 20+ year love affair with Mountain Dew. To me, it's probably the best tasting soda out there.

I have been trying for a while to cut back, not have any for a couple days here and there but I always fall back and feel like I need one
It's not even really about the caffeine either, I think it's more to do with sugar and flavor. If I'm not drinking soda, I prefer juice over water. Why? Water makes me have to use the restroom like crazy and I always feel thirsty. Water just never cuts it for me.

I have thought about trying those little flavor drop things for my water, I'm not sure if it would stick. I can see myself wanting to put just one more drop in to the water to make it taste "better"

I have gone without a huge amount of caffeine for a few days now. The usual suspect of headaches that I get when I try to kick it is not happening this time.

The next step for me is to try to stop drinking the juices so much. Try to stick to a glass at breakfast and maybe one in the afternoon, but that's it.

I weighed out the negatives from this. It needs to happen. Acid reflux...sucks. It'll rot my teeth out of my face...gross. I get to be a fat mess from all the soda...sexy huh?

Time to kick this pig out as a daily habit of mine. Start working on getting the water in (and subsequent water out) and at the most have a soda when I go out.

...now if I can not go out to eat so much.
