right now, i cannot give up regular dr pepper. im not going to say never, but not right now. diet just tastes weird to me, and i have limited myself to 1/2 a dr pepper a day (usually with dinner), but i love it. i have given it up before (for lent lol) but i just choose to budget it in right now because the moment i tell myself i cannot have it, i know i will want it even more.
