ottertail co mn | One day while working in the grocery store I walked over to the beverage cooler. Instead of reaching for a pop or sweet drink I grabbed a water. This maybe happened only a couple times a year because I hate water. Well 3 hours later I went to that same cooler and grabbed another water, I was like what the heck is going on.
Well turns out in the last 2 weeks I have 3 sweet drinks total other than my morning coffee with a littLe creamer.
I used to have to have a sweet tea within minutes of getting to the store, that craving is gone. I used to have to have a pop at lunch, that craving is gone. I usually drink 4 waters at the store and milk at home.
What’s weird is it just felt like my body was done wanting sweet drinks, which I feel like I was addicted to. I didn’t try to quit sugar drinks, it just happened.
I am very happy with how I feel and now I feel like I can control what I drink vs feeling like I HAVE to drink sugar. One day I had a pop with lunch and didn’t even finish it, one day I had a sweet tea because I was really thirsty and needed a little pick me up. The other sweet drink I had was a new pop that we got in the store and I really wanted to try it. It was a Buddy’s pop made in Minnesota and was awesome. I really don’t crave another one though. Hopefully this sticks with me, but I don’t really want to try and completely give up sugar drinks just because I do like them, but I really enjoy being able to control what I drink now and I definitely feel way better.
I appreciate everyone on who posts about this sort of thing on here. I don’t think it changed how I have changed my behavior but it gave me the idea that you can make a change and stick with it. I was envious of everyone who made these changes and always thought to my self that I could never do it!!!
Thanks to everyone for helping me without even knowing. | |
