Eliminating Diet Soda
Feb 04, 2008
It was recommended by my doctor that I completely avoid diet soda after my bypass. I did so for many years, but eventually had a diet soda here, another one there and before I knew it I was drinking large quantities of the toxic substance daily. I would tell myself it is ok, it's diet, ignoring doctor recommendations. This year I decided it is time to cut the diet sodas out of my life. I am pleased to say I have gone 1 week without. It has been challenging, especially dealing with the horrible headache that ensued on day 1, but I feel better. I'm noticing a difference in my face too - I don't look so "puffy" anymore. I feel good about my accomplishment and intend to keep up the good work.
