I also have the soda problem; and while I am a pretty slight person I am starting to get to the age where it's gonna catch up to me (and judging by the increase in things I've had to remove from my wardrobe... it has begun). I blame the fact that I am at a computer all day, have access to free drinks at work, and have had an ulcer so I can't diet soda at all (like artificial sweetener chews through my stomach lining like no other). Thankfully I can keep it down to one a day or less, unlike when I was in undergrad and would go through a cube of canned soda in like... a week.

Of course, that's really the ONLY sweet thing I ever crave. My biggest problem is I crave salt and have a family with a history of heart problems! GREAT IDEA CENDRI.

But yeah after this internship I'm going to go off soda again I think because I won't be able to afford it. XD Thankfully I have a ridiculous collection of teas and a couple large containers with which to ice them for the colder days.

I hope it goes better, just wanted to pass you some empathy.
