That delicious Mountain Dew or tasty Dr. Pepper. Those were my favorites. For the longest time I have been trying to quit the sugary drink but always failed. This time around though I stuck my heels in and managed to make it a full year without soda. It feels good not wanting a soda. It&#8217;s nice not being so addicted to soda that you&#8217;re cranky when you don&#8217;t have one. It&#8217;s even better to lose all that weight from cutting out all of that sugar&#8230; wait&#8230; that didn&#8217;t happen.

It&#8217;s probably because during the pandemic my relationship with Little Debbie got a little too hot and heavy, but today that all changes! If I can quit drinking soda and stay off the corn syrupy nectar, than I should be able to break up with Little Debbie as well. So that&#8217;s what I am doing today, me and Little Debbie (as well as her friends Hostess and Mrs. Freshly) are breaking up. No more snack cakes for me!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be starting a new Days Since to track my struggle with this break up. It&#8217;s a hard thing to do, but it needs to be done. Little Debbie, I&#8217;m sorry but it&#8217;s over between us!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did it! I made it a year without soda!
