He did what!

A day has come that I never thought possible. My dear sweet wonderful husband gave up his most prized and loved possession. It was the thing he turned to first thing in the morning, mid-morning, afternoon, evening, and even late at night. It was the one thing that left its remnants scattered throughout the house, it has literally been his life source ever since I've known him. It was so important to him that if we were out and it happened to be Sunday he would go into withdrawls and eventually give in and go to a vending machine to find it. It has sucked money out of us because of the excessive amount uses it. So, to save some money, and he says to lose some weight (if you've seen him you know he has no weight to lose), he has given it up. I about fell off my chair when I heard him say he would. What could this beloved object be? Mountain Dew of course. Way to go Matt, I'm really proud of you. Although he did tell me he is still going to drink it at work, he is just not going to buy it anymore. Baby steps, right?

Even I knew what you were talking about before you unveiled what it was. WOW!!! J has temporarily given up Dr. Pepper to lose weight. He's struggling, but I'm pretty sure he's gone 2 weeks without now!

Way to go Matt!!! It's possible-- Eric did it for a whole year, and then decided he was done. He really hasn't had very much Mtn. Dew since then, though.

Please let me know how he does it! Greg has been trying to get off of Mt. Dew probably a 100 times but the headaches get him every time. Good luck Matt. Way to be an example to your brother.
