Quitting Caffeine - I *promise*

I REALLY need to stop the caffeine, and fake sugars.... *sigh* it's so hard to not want my whitechocolatemochalattecarmelfrappalattechino from the gas station across the street in the mornings. And I want my diet pepsi at lunch too....I don't have coffee or diet pepsi everyday, I never have them on the weekends...but I do drink Crystal light (again, fake sugars) at home. I'm also not supposed to have dark sodas or coffee due to my kidney stones...so I know I need to quit for a lot of reasons...

My acupuncturist suggested I've try Stevia and drink it with tea...I bought a bunch of stevia packets and they taste like crappityweirdness. They are SUPER sweet with a tad of odd, I might try to like that and use half a packet, at least it is all natural and made from a leaf....(come to think of is, so is pot, hmmmmmm....so perhaps it's not good after all?) I digress, I tried it in some tea and I drank it all down super fast cause it was gross....

I guess it's back to plain water and my True Lemon, True Orange or True Lime packets....YUM....

I just know that I need to, I know that I have to....give up all this artificial/empty calories/caffeinated stuff....except caffeine from chocolate....cause sometimes a girl just needs a dove promise :)...
