Oct. 15, 2007 - MY BAD HABIT

Do you have a bad habit?  Well, I do.  Actually, I have a few.  But the one up for discussion tonight is... I drink way too much pop (soda).  It hit me today.  I have a habit just like a smoker.  Everyone knows that our refrigerator doesn't work (we have a small that would be used in a college dorm room.  It holds milk, eggs, juice and POP).  But there is normally no room for a pop, so my hubby (who hates to tell me no) goes a couple of times a day to get pop from McDonalds.  I write this while fininshing a large rootbeer !  We probably spent $6 on pop from McDonalds today!  That is an absolute shame. 

No, I don't drink diet, and I definitely don't drink enough water.  I have a bad habit.  My husband said that his mom was a heavy smoker, and she would have a lit cigarette in the ashtray, and one in her mouth th she was smoking.  Well, I have a cup of old pop to my left and my McDonalds pop to my right.  Lord, HELP ME!!!!! The thing is that I can't stop.  I want it.  So, tomorrow, I will begin a pop fast.  Please help me to be accountable.  I need water.  I have high blood pressure, and water would help me.  Friends, pray for me that I won't give in to temptation and the desire for pop will be broken off me!  Well, I've conquered the first step...ADMITTING I HAVE A PROBLEM!!

OH, I can totally understand! I just came to this same realization about a month ago, I was looking at our food budget and wondering how I could be more frugal. Well, if I cut out the 3-4 diet cokes per day I was drinking it would really help! I've tried tapering off before and it didn't work for me so I tried replacing pop with iced tea this time and it seems to have worked, I don't drink as much because you then have a glass to wash, you have to pour it...basically it takes a smidge more effort and I'm too lazy so I just don't drink as much! ~Anyway sorry for the long comment...I hope you have a great day!

So funny. I just got a lecture from my physical therapist yesterday that I need to drink more water. When I thought about it, I did have to admit that I only drink maybe one glass a day - I'm not a big drinker (pop or water). Maybe I will see a change now that I admitted to having a problem :) Hang in there... we can do it! Let's break our old habits!!! lol.

Oct. 19, 2007 - Praying

Posted by southmsmomof4
I used to be a chain smoker. Like your husbands mother I would have a lit cancer stick in the ashtray then one in my hands too. For years I smoked. (started very young) God has delivered me from this (and many other "bad habits") and I have now been smoke free for yrs. Know that what He can do for one, He can and will do for another. The bible says to ask and you shall receive and you have. Know that we serve a God that is able. There's no habit, none, that is too big for Him to "kick". Praying for you. God bless.
