I used to drink a shitload of soda.

Then after college I was living at home with my folks, two hours away from my fiancee. I had nothing better to do so I decided to focus on my health. Took 6 months, did a lot of p90x, went almost entirely cold turkey on processed foods, added sugars, and alcohol.

I ended up losing over 60lbs, almost all of which I have gained back for various reasons. But one thing that stuck is I cannot handle non-diet soda anymore. It makes me feel physically sick to drink more than a couple ounces. I will occasionally drink a diet soda, but even those are few and far between.

It's like I rewired something inside of me and I just can't deal with those sugar bombs anymore. I'm sure part of it may also just be me getting older.

Anyway the point of the story is, there is hope! It takes some willpower, but if I could do it, you can too!
