Food Storage & NO Dr. Pepper!!! What?! Am I sick? I think I just might be. For those of you who know me well, know me that I can't go a single day w/o my drugs... Dr. Pepper. It's sickening (seriously) how much I USED to drink in a single day. ( I one time even drank an entire 2 liter by MYSELF in one day) thats how bad my ADDICTION ---WAS!!!. Lately tho, I have been limiting myself to 2 -3 cans a day, then refill my Sonic cup with water for the rest of the day. IF I didnt get my 2 cans in before noon, then I would go w/o and just drink water or Powerade Zero.(sooooo Yummy) Anywho, since I've been "gaining weight" and I dont know why, I've decided to knip dr. pepper in the bud and go COLD TURKEY. Thats right. I've been suffering from a MAJOR headache all day. I know it will only last a few days and if I can keep myself hydrated with water all day, then I wont have the cravings for Dr. Pepper anymore. I still might have one when I go out to dinner or something, but not EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Also, I have been having some serious thoughts on my food storage. I've got some. In fact, most of it is under my bed.(thats what my bed is sitting on) I'm trying to get a king bed frame so that my box springs wont be sitting on my floor once I move all my food storage out from under my bed. Thats my goal for TOMORROW(Tues) I am going to re-organize all my food storage and so called pantry so I know what foods I need to start stocking up on and what not. Im making it a goal to go to Costco AT LEAST once a month and double and triple up on my Costco coupons. I am also trying to go to the cannery every month. I'm also going to start getting water bottles and gallons of water. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. (IF anyone still buys 2 liters of soda, and you throw away the liters you can give them to me or use them yourself and fill them up with water) I've got like 30 2 liters filled with water right now.
Im trying to get a months worth of food storage, then I'll shot for 3 months and then 6 then a year. It'll take a while, but it's going to be soooo worth it in the end when I am able to support my family in times of need.

Good for you! My weekness is Coke or Cherry Coke. I don't think I could ever give soda up, but I don't drink it that much, so that's a good thing!
Nice job on the Dr. Pepper...you'll probably notice a big difference once the headache's gone.:) And having food storage does give you peace of mind. We've been trying to get ours built up for a few years now, and it feels so good to have it. It'll build up faster than you think!
I was addicted to Pepsi once and it was the hardest thing ever to give up. My coach finally made me and I was sick for a week. :)
Food storage is something I've been thinking about too. I have oodles of stuff but don't know what to do with it. I need to take a class or something. I also need to get a wheat grinder but I don't know what kind to get. I'm still researching that. I also don't want a huge bucket of wheat in my kitchen. What to do? What to do? :)
That's AWESOME! Way to go!
Wow that's a lot to just give up cold turkey. I have given it up twice once after each kid but am currently drinking Dr Pepper, so maybe I should give it up too...I will try. You must have been reading my mind cause I have been wanting to do my food storage too now that I have ample amount of space to store it in. And I totally agree that we should get together for a double that would be soooo fun!
