Too much D. P!?

So I have a problem...I know! First of all I blame my son, Logan and my doctor, Dr. Mason. Why? Well, when I was pregnant with Logan I started to get these intense headaches and Dr. Mason suggested I drink caffeinated soda to get rid of them. (See? Purely the fault of Logan and Dr. Mason). I wasn't even a big soda drinker, never had been, then I discovered D. P...I was in love and better yet, I was drinking it per my doctor! So ever since then I've been hooked. I find that I can not stay awake past 7:00 unless I've had about 12 ounces between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. I have it down to an art...More than 12 ounces or past 3:00 and I'm up all night, less than that or before 2:00--and I'm drinking worthless calories. So, why the post about a sinful drink you ask? Because I am ridding myself of it forever (or until after our cruise--whichever comes first). We are taking a cruise with all our friends from Dental school to celebrate the boys' graduation and I have been working hard to shed a few pounds before we leave. I have lost 4, and that seems all my body wants to give away, so I blame the D.P. Hopefully this will help!

Good for you! Good luck! BTW you don't need to lose any weight, you look great!

Hmm, I doubt you need to lose any weight too. But, it's good to get rid of the pop. I was hooked on Diet Coke for the same reason you were I gave it up last year. You'll get use to it soon. And then you can occasionally have one and enjoy it that much more! Where are you going on a cruise? You will love it and you'll never want to come home! (at least that's what happened to me)

Good for you! I've gotten hooked on Cherry Coke/Pepsi while being pregnant (not per my doctor's orders). I don't drink it everyday, but every now and then (when I'm having a bad day) I think I deserve one. My husband hasn't had a Coke since his mission over ten years ago and I feel like a sinner when I drink in front of him, but other than that I've justified it. I'm proud of you! But seeing this post only makes me want to go buy a drink. :)

Hello sister- I too am a D.P. lover and find it hard to quit. I tried the diet and it's okay, but I don't like the after taste. And I agree with above...Sonic is the best- ever tried a Vanilla Dr. Pepper?
