Life without Diet Pepsi

My Zelda buddy told me to look up an ingredient in the Diet Pepsi I was drinking. Aspartame. So I did. This isn't the first website that I searched but this is the one that got me think twice about drinking the stuff http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html
Hopefully you checked out the site and seen what I saw. There is another site I will direct you to but you wont believe what you read. I still can't wrap my mind around it.

 But my blog isn't about all that. It's about how my life is without the Diet Pepsi. I tried to stop drinking Diet Pepsi before and I would get bad headaches and stomach aches. So I figured it was the caffeine and just tried to ween myself off it. Six months later I am still drinking the stuff. Three cans a day. I used to drink more before but I never kept count. 2 days ago I stopped drinking it. So far so good. I have been drinking nothing but water. No headaches yet but my stomach does seem to bother me a bit here and there.


Something I have noticed since I stopped drinking it is I seem to want to move around and do something. Yesterday I rearranged the game cabinet and did some of my daughter's kitchen chore.

I feel good about this decision. But I know I will miss the taste of Diet Pepsi. I feel like it was my drug and I am addicted to it.But like most drugs I don't NEED it so as long as I don't want it I should be able to resist temptation.
