I am at day 3 post hypnosis and I am really feeling changed. That may sound ridiculous but I have not had a Diet Pepsi since Tuesday afternoon pre-hypnosis (Super Big Gulp of course) and if you know me then you know that is a BIG DEAL. When I was pregnant with Nate I had to admit to my OB that I was addicted to Diet Pepsi. It was embarrassing, like a dirty secret that I didn't want her to know. When I told her how much I actually consumed daily she told me to wean myself off and not go cold turkey. I did what she said and I stayed away from my beloved Diet Pepsi for almost a full year but as soon as I took that first sip...it all came back to me.
Since the hypnotherapist told us to stay away from aspartame I threw away all of my Splenda packets yesterday and I have shunned diet drinks altogether. They have been replaced with flavored seltzer water and plain ol' water. It's been fine so far and I have not been craving soda at all. I think this may be a small change that I can live with and it may lead to other changes. They say aspartame starts sugar cravings and I have only had 3 Pop Ems in the last 3 days. No cookies or candy or anything like that. I'm not looking to cut out sweets completely but I think starting out this way will help me be able to enjoy just a serving when I do want it. I will admit I am a little scared heading into the weekend...
