Loss of a Love

Ok. so for those of you on my Facebook, you might remember this status update I had on August 11th. 

For those of you not on Facebook, this was my status update.

"I went on holidays in camrose AB and they had a vanilla shot for diet coke. I was dismayed when I went to the Medicine Hat location and they have one. I was told the machine would have to break in order to get one. I am writing you this so instead of someone having a breakdown over not having a vanilla shot with their diet coke and breaking the machine, you can rectify the problem and just get one there. Lemme know when you do cause I will be the first in line. Until then, I am NOT going there."

This is a complaint that I lodged with 7/11

I know it may SEEM like I was joking but really, I was not, just trying to make a point with a little humor. 

I am someone who USED to laugh and joke a lot, and then stopped but had become determined to joke more, so I felt I should use humor in my complaint.

Lots of the comments were quite funny, but also brought up the fact that I might, just MIGHT be addicted! 

SO, I did a LOT of evaluation. 

To say I LOVE diet coke, well, that is putting it mildly.

I would drink more Diet Coke than water, yep, got my 8 glasses of DC and MAYBE a few of H20.

Not Always 8 glasses but WAY too much Diet Coke. 

Yes, I tried to give it up before. 

And by tried, I mean I went a while without it, then gave in.

This time, I was DETERMINED. 

And, I had SUPPORT! 

I had someone who was willing to make a sacrifice as well, and that really meant so much to me.

So, I did it. 

Sept 15th.

Oh, the next few days were HELL, to say the least. 

I felt if I bashed my head up against the wall it would feel better.

But I didn't.

I have learned I can ACTUALLY SURVIVE without the "love" of my life. 

My Diet Coke.

I sleep SOOOOOOO much better.

I don't feel BLOATED.

I might have lost a few pounds.

I just FEEL better.

SO, no going back. 

I am an "all in" type of girl, do it all the way or not at all.

I thought I would really miss it, but I don't. 

I think that is what surprised me the most.
