Reasons to Stop Drinking Soda

I know you can send me to a site with the evils of soda but I would have watched it if I wanted to.

I didn’t.

The reasons I make changes have to be mine or else they will feel forced as if there is a diet gun to my head.

I don’t like diets.
I don’t like guns.
I really don’t like them at my head.

My reasons have to be MY reasons just like your reasons have to be YOUR reasons or they won’t last.

It’s an expensive habit. Yes, habit.
People judge when you order a diet coke and tiramusu. I get that.
I never finish a can having left a trail of half full sodas around the world.
It sends a mixed message to my brain. I eat something sweet or greasy and then quickly wash it away with diet soda. My brain thinks a fresh start is happening but there’s more sugar and more grease on the way.
And I want a baby soon. Pretty sure my baby cooker isn’t supposed to be built on aspartame.

What are your reasons?
