We have finally BEAT every ADDICTION we’ve had!!!

Good Morning Everybody!!!!  The sun is finally shining here and it make me happy!!!!

My husband and I have been working sooooooooo hard to get rid of all the bad addictions  we had.

My husband is a coffee lover, so that is one he can’t possibly give up….”COFFEE LUSH”  lol!!!

I hardly drink 1/2 cup maybe once a week, so I’m coffee free (almost)

I used to drink Diet Coke…….way too much….and any other soda I could get my hands on. Same with my hubby.

Then we realized how bad the soda was ( I really knew but was in denial) so we switched to sparkling fruit flavored waters (carbonated)  Guess I can’t get enough of the bubbly, fizzing water…the CARBONATION!!!!

I wrote Dr. Marc and asked his opinion on Diet Sodas, and Carbonated water.  He told me Carbonation depletes the bodys calcium and there is no way to get it back. Plus it gives you the full feeling, for me bloating :(

So we’ve finally made the next step…..Aquafina Flavor Splash….0 cal…0 nothing…except 65 mg sodium.  No carbonation, and we only have it as a treat at night :)

Sooooooooooooo  all in all, no nicotine (will be

 2 years mothers day)  no alcohol……that was a problem :(   no soda/no sparkly drinks :)  and my biggest addiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOOD AND MORE FOOD….FRIED, GREASY, FATTY, SWEET, SALTY, ANY KIND OF FOOD :(

I’m proud to say we’ve done this, could have never done it without my hubby by my side and all of you helping me.

Love you Guys  

Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu,

When someone smiled at me today,

I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner

and someone saw my grin

When he smiled I realized

I’d passed it on to him

I thought about that smile

then I realized its worth

A single smile, just like mine,

Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin

don’t leave it undetected

Let’s start an epidemic quick,

and get the world infected :)        :)         :)         :)

    I always belive in that contagious smile -my husband thinks I’m crazy -but it’s true! Congrats on all of your triumps! It’s hard work & you pulled through -great job!

    You know Jane, that is what my studies say, that carbonation creates an acidic environment in the body thereby causing the body to lose calcium, BUT there is a site (many) that will not say this. There are many skeptics, but it is good to learn and make good choices. Hey we learn what works for ourselves yes? I can have a chocolatey treat when guests are over and enjoy it, but I really do prefer to not have it around me all the time, ya know. Funny how we are as creatures….always seeking that pleasure. But always there are new sources of pleasure to be discovered. You are doing FABULOUS. All the best Jane. *hugs*

    well done! your bodies will thank you so much for giving up these things!
    If only I could stop drinking alcohol and smoking, I know my body hates me for consuming them….I will try, soon. I’m sure I would be so much healthier if I did.

    well done again! :)
