For the last couple of days I’ve been at my parents’ house, and tonight, when Mama was getting supper ready, she asked me if I wanted a Diet Coke.
“I don’t think so,” I replied. “I think I’ll drink some water.”
And then I went back to checking my email.
Apparently my little boy had been listening Mama and me, because after a few seconds he said, “Mama? You know what? You ALWAYS drink water.”
Y’all. THAT. IS. HUGE. Because I’m pretty sure that for the first five years of that child’s life there was a glass of Diet Coke over ice within my reaching distance at all times.
So for the last few hours, I’ve been enjoying the realization that I really have made progress with cutting back on my Diet Coke consumption over the last few weeks. I’m drinking a lot more water. I’m choosing water over Diet Coke a lot more at meals. And I’m craving water so much more that it’s a little shocking to me.
Yay, progress!
