I love Pepsi! In fact I am feening for one right now. It’s sad to say but I can drink them like they’re water (in fact I have). It doesn’t take much for me to reach for one, so when I’ve had a super stressed out day like the one I’ve had today, rest assure it’s the kind that has Pepsi written all over it. Quite honestly, it has taken ALL I have not to get one. But as I continue on my journey I’m devoted to changing my bad habits one at a time, one month at a time, and replacing them with healthy and empowering ones.
So with that, I am starting this new year off with a new declaration. As the title of this post suggest, I am declaring my body as a no soda zone. January is the kick off for my monthly “kick the habit campaign”. I’m choosing to start with kicking the soda habit because:
- I no longer want to drink my calories
- I know I can definitely drop quite a few pounds by changing this one habit alone
- I don’t want to be dependent on anything other than God
- I want to prove to myself that I can do it

Girl, I tell you, it is amazing how much we have in common. I love Pepsi and drink them like water. During the holidays I allowed myself to have one every two days because I was giving them up for the new year. Now I am more committed than ever since your post reminded me of great reasons to give soda up. So, I am with you on this one and I declare my body a Soda Free Zone. We can do this.
