Since january this year I have developed a sort of dependance on diet coke. Well not just diet coke, anything of the coke or pepsi vaieties; diet coke, coke zero, coke, pepsi max, pepsi etc…
This is and has been concerning me for about a month particularly after declaring a day about 2 weeks ago “diet-coke free” during which i had a nanny nap at 1 in the afternoon. Being a person who tends to be able to last a day or more without sleep I began to realise the effect the consumption of said drinks have had on my health. So much so, that I believe I have a case of addiction.
In order to curb this addiction I have decided to partake in a detox. I have been researching various diets and am going on an all fruit, vegies and natural products detox. This means no dairy besides natural yoghurt, no meats, no confectionary, soft drinks or anything processed. With fingers crossed, my dependance on softdrink will be over by the end of the program…. 7 +days depending on how i’m feeling.
Today is day one and its feeling good. I love fruit so have been snacking on it as told i am allowed to. No strange side-effects yet but oddly enough i havn’t had a craving for diet coke and its 9:00pm. Chocolate on the otherhand….. Not only were they giving us free chocolate at my Seussical the Musical rehersal, when i got home, Dad whipped out a block of cadbury dairy milk and ate a whole line in front of me. Grrrrrr…… luckily the family isnt home tomorrow or i’m sure i’d be convinced into returning to my confectionary-consuming ways.
Bear with me for this week. I am blogging as an experiment just to see how my moods and attitudes change whilst on this detox. I hear some crazy stuff can happen so i guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Until next time
NB to self: buy jasmine green tea… yummy AND good for you
I keep meaning to do the whole detox thing. When I’m not having spaghetti bolognese (I don’t remember it ever being spelt like that) then I’m at McDonalds eating pounders, or at Hungry Jacks eating Double Bacon Cheeseburger deluxes. My girlfriend is on detox now and all I see her eat are nuts. Man, I could so go some nuts right now. It’s 3:30am and I just finished watching at least 8 back to back episodes of Scrubs. I need coke.
