Celebrating One Year Of Abstinence From Sugary Drinks by NovesaTillie(f): 11:41pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
Hurray ![]() ![]() I think it's worth celebrating my one year anniversary away from taking soft drinks and any kind of Sugary drinks especially because I was so addicted to the extent of drinking 5 bottles of soft drink everyday. It started like a movie and before I knew it, one plastic bottle of soft drink couldn't satisfy me anymore. From substituting water with soft drink especially during the lock down whenever I had my meal or felt dehydrated to just drinking it for fun and I loved it chilled. Each time I finished drinking it there was this burst of energy and happiness that follows ![]() I remember a particular weekend when I didn't have any cash on me I begged the neighborhood store to give me a pack of Coca-Cola drink to take me for the weekend till workday before I paid for it. Then towards the last quarter of the year last year, I started noticing how yellowish my urine became and it dawned on me that I needed to cut down on the intake and so my journey began. It was a tough one because I was already used to taking 5-6 pet bottles daily. But I started by reducing by 1 bottle each week and replacing it with water. By December last year I firmly decided to put an end to what had become my addiction. Now here I am today, healthier and happier. No matter how chilled or iced, so far it's soft drink I won't take it. Even at work, when lunch is served I always consciously change my drink for water. Then at home, whenever the urge came I replaced it with taking fresh fruits juices and smoothies which I make myself.. 90 Likes 6 Shares

Good! I suggest you also go for a medical test to see your sugar level and functioning of your liver, kidneys etc. Some mid intensive exercise during the day like fast walk or jogging will also help 17 Likes 3 Shares |
