I'll Have Water

I have the world's worst sweet tooth. I'm one of those guys who, when everyone else says stuff like, "This is too sugary" or "This is too rich", I'm over there spooning more sugar on. When it comes to beverages, traditionally, I'll drink Mt. Dew first, any other non-Diet soda second, Fruit Juice third, Tea fourth, and Water last. Needless to say, I didn't drink just a huge amount of water.

Recently, that changed. I decided that I was gonna stop drinking soda (specifically Mt. Dew). Period. Cold Turkey. And I was gonna drink more water. Tap water, specifically, not that bottled water crap. My reasons were multi-fold: 1) My face was getting a little too fat. 2) The caffiene was starting to do wierd things to me. 3) I didn't like being addicted to caffiene. 4) I could save money not buying a 24 pack of Mt. Dew every week or two.

It's worked out pretty well. My face is now just "thick" as opposed to fat (honestly, I kinda like having a little fat on me. I was all skin and bones in my youth, so having some weight makes me feel, I dunno, tougher I guess). I still don't sleep well, but I do save a lot of money, especially at restaraunts and fast food joints. And I honestly feel a little healthier.

I have had a few relapses. I drank some Dew on New Year's Eve, during the Pub Crawl (see a few entries back), and recently at a PPV. Although Dew still tastes really good, the aftereffects have now become so obvious (I get girl bladder and take forever to fall asleep) that I really don't even enjoy it anymore. So, the next time we're out at a bar or something similiar and someone wants to buy me a Dew (and I'm looking at you Boolah), order me an Orange Juice instead. Cool?
