What I Don't Miss

I do not miss and plan to forever live without:

1. Diet Coke- This is a shocker. When my husband and I initially did a 28 day Paleo challenge back in May, I didn't know if I would get over this loss. I used to drink at least 24oz a day. Diet Coke was my friend and I loved her. Dearly. Now, this is something I don't even cheat with. Don't miss it and won't go back.

2. Truvia/Other Sweetener in my coffee- I was in a "good" habit of using Truvia instead of sugar in my coffee and in May I went cold turkey off sweeteners. Now, I use Organic Pastured Heavy Cream (about a tablespoon per cup) and it's heavenly.

3. Fast Food- Unfortunately, I used to greatly enjoy a McD's crispy ranch chicken wrap. . . I know. So gross. So awful. I also used to love chicken tenders from Raising Cane's and my hubby could chow down on some Taco Bell and I of course would join him. I mean, I couldn't let him go down alone, right? Never. Again. I do not miss these things and the more I learn about food and what we're really putting in our bodies, the more it literally turns my stomach to think about these foods I used to love!

As you start your own journey to wellness, what are the things you'll never go back to? Has anything you thought you'd miss desperately been easier to let go of? Old habits die hard. Stay strong friends.

  1. Oh my goodness! Yes, I totally agree that some things have been super easy to let go of! Totally a mindset and super easy with support! Coffeemate, bread, wine, and pop have been easy to let go of and I do not crave them.

    On the other hand, cheese I do miss. And ice cream.
