Mt. Dew. It's not good for you. I'm pretty sure there's nothing in that bottle that my body likes, aside from the taste. I really do like the way it tastes! And lately, I've been using the caffeine boost like I did in my pre-primal days. When I drink it my stomach churns a little. After all, my diet is pretty sugar free. But it keeps my eyes open when they need to be.
(sigh)
Today I didn't drink any. I also didn't shower, put on real clothes, or leave the house (except to take some recycling out). But I didn't drink any Mt. Dew. I did, however, try some tea. About an hour after I drank it I fell asleep on the couch watching TV with the kids. Later I noticed that the tea I drank was caffeine free...that's not helpful!
Another problem I have with caffeine is that I'm tired so I drink it, then I come down off that high and I'm even more tired. It's a nasty little cycle.
(sigh)
So, I'm using my blog as a confessional to get this all off my chest and as a sounding board to work out my feelings about this drug of choice. In the end, I'll probably still drink it from time to time. (And maybe one or two of you will let me know that it's OK to be weak sometimes.) But, I'm trying very hard not to get back on the juice in the same way I used to...many moons ago it ran through my veins.
So, thanks for hearing me out and letting me publicly work through my vices.
And now I'm going to bed...night everyone!

Oh that's me with the Cherry Coke! Through grad school I would drink Mt Dew Code Red to keep me going...then I switched to Cherry Coke. It's a vicious little cycle isn't it...just one a day...I swear...but even one is too many, per day! So we don't buy it anymore...but I want to...I always want to...! lol!
*patting you on the back* it's ok to be weak sometimes :-) I wouldn't call it weak though--it's a little indulgence. And the indulgences must be kept under strict control, but also enjoyed every now and then right???
