I totally know where you are coming from. First, the no soda thing about killed me but I have gone almost 2 mths without ANY. That is huge for me. I work midnights so I loved my mt. dew. and then there is the no drinking thing....that about killed me. but it is worth it....I do see results for the first time and that makes it all worth it. I also just don't have anything near by that I could drink and my family does remind me...especially my 5 year old....he will say "mommy, you aren't supposed to drink with your food" then I realize what I did this for in the first place...GOOD LUCK TO YOU....stay with it....it will get easier.:clap2:
