I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

My 1 year anniversary
Today marks my 1 year anniversary off soda. I was only drinking diet soda, but it was a lot and the artificial sweeteners were not good for me. Now if something has an artificial sweetener in it I can tell right away and can barely drink it. I'm really proud of myself and have no plan of drinking any. This shows me that I can do anything I put my mind too and SO CAN YOU. Set whatever goal it is you have and get started today. YOU CAN DO IT!! I BELIEVE IN YOU.

My 1 year is June 10th with no pop! It doesn't bother me except when I have Aurelios pizza at my parents house!
Wow..has it been that long. I remember when you were just a few months into it.
I enjoy reading about your journey. You are an inspiration to people whom you may never meet. But in some way you've had an impact on their life. I know you have on mine.
"Melissa, so now that you have accomplished this amazing event, what are you going to do now?" "I'm going to Disney World". :)
Congratulations. For some reason I thought that this anniversary was 2 weeks away. I forgot to buy you an anniv. card.
That is awesome, I struggle SOO much with this. I actually quit for 3 months, but am back on "the drug" again (ie caffeine).....what did you drink instead? Just water?
I drink lemonade, raspberry Ice Tea, but mostly water.
WTG! I have been trying to get that particular monkey (only mine is diet coke) off my back for years now. I'll do good for a while and then I backslide. Glad to see it can be done!
BTW, I enjoy your blog!
