When you have taken a sip of a drink for the very first time and then think oh i absolutely love it then you might run into some problems, As my family has always been coca cola & pepsi drinkers it has been one of the hardest things to live by each and every single day since i became addicted to pepsi over 2 years ago! It isn't easy for me as i am always craving for a can of coke or even pepsi every single second of the day. I really don't know how my addiction started as when i was at school we did have coke machine and i didn't have hardly any at school and also when i was at home, I was the perfect size when i was in school only being a size 16 it was one of the best feelings in the world as i could get some lovely clothes to fit me, As time was getting on i was getting older and i was just pilling on the pounds and i always used to be on my feet when i was at school as i always walked down with my mates after i was dropped off to meet them every morning. I think my addition slowly started when i left school and i was going though a ruff time with a breakdown and also i was also told that i had very bad migraines in 2004 and this made me stop drinking it for almost 2 years and i lost so much weight because i was scared about getting a migraine because my attacks are really bad.I felt like a star when i wasn't drinking it for 2 years between 2004 -2006 as my skin felt good and cleaner and i was also getting out of bed very early and being very active and not out of breath it was amazing, In 2005 i was told that i had asthma and then my breathing wasn't good at all I slowly pilled on the pounds between that time and then in September 2008 i moved away to be with my dad and to get back on track and then i didn't drink it again for the next two years between 2008 -2010 as my dad wouldn't let me drink it in his house, Within in 6 months i went from a size 22 to a 18 in 6 months and that was not drinking coke and also hardly eating as i was staving myself in the time. When my health was finally back on track i went though so much that i started drinking coke and my mom was getting worried about it and i was drinking so much. I am spending a so much on pepsi when i go shopping and by the end of the week i have already ran out and i need some more and then i turn to my mums supply and then she has a go at me for drinking them, I have spent so much on pepsi over the last few years that my addition has gotten so bad that i might need help and therapy to help me control my addition. I haven't spoke to no one regarding it with my GP but they are very worried on what i am drinking that it might cause me problems in later life, My dad hardly drinks the stuff and he seems to a perfect size and weight and the same with my auntie she doesn't never drink it and its amazing to see what people are like when they don't have it.
I can remember that when i was very stressed out that i managed to drink 18 cans of pepsi in one night and that made me feel so unwell and i also started to be sick in the middle of the night due to the amount of pepsi that i had, I also had the same problem when i was with my dad i was sick in the middle of the night when i was visiting and my dad told me straight away what the problem was and i was feeling very unwell for days after. I also have mood swings and i will loose my temper if i don't have a can and i will feel absolutely dreadful if i don't have any and i will also get headaches and i just don't want to do anything then lie in bed and i will also become very dizzy and even my friend knows that i have a problem with it and i have we have been close friends since 2002 and she knows all about my problem and she is always trying to help me with my addition every time i see her,I have also done some tests to see why i was putting on so much weight and i drank ice cold water for over 2 weeks and i did feel crap for a few days and then i felt so much better in just a short time, My skin was starting to feel better and more cleaner and the weight was dropping off me like magic and my whole body felt like it was getting a massive cleanup for the first time in years.
I don't know what the next stages are for me because everyone in my family drinks pepsi and coca cola all the time and it is very hard for someone like me who loves it so much, If anyone says to me oh have a glass of orange and i wouldn't take it for anything i don't want to end up having injections in my body because i am drinking way to much coke and my sugar levels are pretty good at the current stage, What i don't understand is why i have this problem and why i am just pilling on my pounds and i do know that i don't exercise regular and i need to and i want to be able to keep drinking it but i want to know how to control it and be more responsible with it because coke and pepsi is now getting pretty expensive all over the supermarkets and it isn't fair when my mom cannot afford some for herself and i end up drinking them is well. I knew that i have a problem and i do need some kinda help or therapy, To tell u the truth i hate drinking the stuff all the time and i wish that i never had a can when i did all those years ago, I don't drink enough water and when i do i go straight back to pepsi and i just need some help with it i cannot carry on with it no more. Most of my money that i get goes straight on coke and pepsi and it isn't a cheap addiction,
I will be making a appointment to see my GP shortly and to hopefully to get some help with my problem lets hope that i can get my addition sorted and controlled before i get very ill with it.
