IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

So in 2 days- well in 53 hrs- I will be in Arizona. Where there is no snow. And no work. And man am I excited!!!!

I'm trying to lose a few pounds before then. I've been doing pretty good- but my one vice has been Dr Pepper. I can't help but suckle at its dark sweet teat. But today I just decided that I'm being stupid- giving up feeling a little better about myself because of it. (I always lose weight when I stop drinking it) So I switched to Diet Dr Pepper today. The after taste of Diet drinks make me want to die- but Ive been told by one of my gal pals that I'll get used to the taste in no time. please bless. Because I nearly can't handle it as of now.

Wish me luck.

I might just need some divine intervention and/or a personal trainer to make this work. If any of you are able to hook me up with either one of those things- please do.

I cannot get over that 'teat' imagery. I also can't handle that diet after taste. It's artificial sweeteners, yuck. Gimme real sugar thank you very much. Weight control instant oatmeal has the same flavor. However, I will say when I am desperate for some DP, a diet just about suffices. I don't usually drink soda, but if I did it would have to be Dr. Pepper. You know, that dark sweet teat. Nope, I can't get over that. I am seriously laughing my head off here. Love you.

kara- im going to my little sisters wedding! wahoo! thank heavens her fiance is from Mesa!

beffany- yeah seriously- why do diet drinks taste like grossness. the things that are decently good for you taste like kaka. or maybe i just got too used to crappy foods i.e. cheese puffs, chocolate milk, wendys with fries dipped in ketchup/ranch mix, etc etc :) LOVE YOU

If you say the phrase "suckle it's dark sweet teat" again I am cutting any ties I have with you.

there are tricks to getting used to drinking from a different, better for you teat! switch to a differnet kind of diet beverage you normally dont drink such as sprite, Diet, Coke (my fav) etc... then when you have almost forgotten what a regular DP tastes like and you can't wait but have it again you grab a Diet DP and it WILL do the trick, I love you and your vice for the teat!!!

I have found a new love in Diet Mtn Dew (Target even carries the caffeine free version). I never really drank Mtn Dew but the Diet version is very nice for a diet soda. Also try Diet Orange Twister Soda. Its really not so diety at all. Speaking of diet soda though I just read an article in the NY times about diet soda being linked to metabolic syndrome which causes diabetes. Just what you wanted to hear right? I can't imagine regular soda not being linked to it as well though, so lets just forget I ever said anything.

Giving up the juice??? I've tried and fail every time. It only takes one drop and I'm back. It tickles my spine as it goes down it's so good. It's pretty much the elixir of the gods. I bet Dr. Pepper is what runs through our veins in heaven.
