I have drunk the only Pepsi I allow myself this day. The heavy glass, sitting on a coaster to the right of my monitor, holds only unappealing watery soda and melting ice cubes. Will I avoid tossing fresh cubes from the freezer into the glass? Will I resist the temptation to open another twelve-ounce bottle? To pour the carbonated, bubbling, foamy beverage on top of and into the current dregs?
I will resist. I must resist.
The white and blue flexi-straw leans away from me.
The glass mocks me.
But I will not give in
. . . to my Precious (visualize Frodo's glaring stare in Mount Doom).

I really loved this post =)
Giving up drinks seems to be the most difficult, to be honest. Coffee-drinkers, alcoholics, and those people who insist on getting 8 glasses of water a day (geez, what is up with them?), all have the exact same problem. No one ever says, "Man, I've really got to cut down on my pancake habit."
I LOVE it!!! I have given up my habit of eating after 9. I am slowly going to work my way up to 8 -- although after church on Wednesdays, it's hard to not eat because we've been running around. Proud of you.
OF COURSE YOU CAN DO IT!! A stong-willed woman like you :-) Love you Clella
Comparing Pepsi to "my precious" is scary, Johnnie. But you can do it and will feel better after a few days without all that artificial junk in your body. jeanie
