Someone else has also told me to try the crystal light thing. Ill have to give that a try. IM seriously trying to stop with it. I never thought I would be addicted to a soft drink. But I have got to do something. Ive been finding that if I go so long without a mountain dew I actually get ill or grumpy. My mother also told me about the diabetic thing saying im drinking way to many sodas a day. We buy 10-15 cases every time we are at walmart and I think its time to just stop. Thats just way to much. And I didnt really notice anything until after I started gaining weight I relized my pants were a little tight and then I started to notice it.
