I feel like I've earned the right to toot my own horn a bit, as it were. I'm in a happy, healthy marriage, we'll be making 4 years together this August. We're doing pretty well all around. Speaking of wellness, I've actually gotten a bit healthier myself, recently. I dropped about 40-ish pounds in a few months. I cut back my soda intake drastically. I've limited myself to one soda a day. Food wise, we've been trying to incorporate more veggies but no major diet changes, just drinking more water and way less soda. I don't even really want soda all that much anymore. Really I only drink the one a day for the burst of caffeine. No other reason. Soda actually feels too thick to me now when I drink it, especially Coke. Pepsi isn't as bad. But I can really tell how syrupy soda is now. It's a little gross, actually. As for missing out on carbonation, I don't have to since Ozarka makes carbonated waters with fruit flavors. So that's what's been working for me.
