Breaking up.
It’s time. And it’s been a long time coming. It’s time for me to break up with my long-time boyfriend.
Dr. Pepper.
I hope you know I’m not even close to kidding when I say looking at that pretty picture above I want to shed a little tear.
So dear, dear Dr. Pepper, I must say goodbye. We have had many happy times. I will remember fondly my high school years when Amy and I would stop at the gas station before school and buy one dollar worth of gas for the love box and a 20 ounce bottle of Dr. Pepper to share for breakfast. And when I was becoming friends with Court before we started dating, we would get a frosty beverage and go for a drive. Coke for him, Dr. Pepper for me. Sigh. But Dr. Pepper, you are starting to hurt my stomach, and you make my skin look like crap, and I suspect you are keeping me from losing the last chunk of weight I want to lose. You are full of high fructose corn syrup, and who knows what else. I tried keeping you as my weekend boyfriend, and then the weekends were seeping over into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It just hasn’t been working out between us.
I love you Dr. Pepper. Goodbye.
Sniff.
My mom is going to be so happy.
Oh, also, check out my guest post at Or so she says today. :)

I'm so proud of you Babe! Did Jillian have anything to do with this? ( :
I love how there is an advertisement for soda below this post.
Goodbye Dr. Pepper, hello Diet Dr. Pepper?
I recently gave up Mt. Dew for diet variety and this was actually a huge step for me considering I hate diet drinks.
I am majorly addicted to Pepsi. It was coke. Then it flipped. Anyway...
I need to get off the stuff!
You make it sound so simple. Please don't tell me that it is, because I will feel worse about myself. ;)
Good luck in your life without Dr. Pepper!!
It was the right thing to do...no matter how painful. :)
Oh you are a brave soul. I don't know what I would drink if I wasn't drinking my diet coke but i know i should give it up. You go Kate! You can do it!
Switch to diet. :) Tastes even better.
I hear you. I broke up with Coca-Cola a few months ago. It was hard but now the thought of soda makes me sick. You'll get through it. I'm here for you girl!
NOOOOOO! That is so sad! I don't think I will ever give up Diet Coke with Lime
such a funny post:-) sadly i had to break up with diet dr. pepper a while back because of headaches...it was a sad day!
good luck hun! you can do it :)
Oh. I am sooo sad for you. I feel your pain, but am unwilling to be a participant in the break up. Tell the doc he can come up and see me ANYTIME...since you're no longer dating, right? And don't go gettin' all ex-girlfriend jealous on me.
Oh, you're funny. I think I'm adding you to my reader. And you don't know this, but it's a compliment. I've got way too many people on my reader so I only add the coolest ones. So pat yourself on the back.
And seriously, so so sorry I didn't write you back when you e-mailed about the up-do thing. I'm still smacking myself! I swear I'm not a flake... usually.
Hey, I'm going to follow you too because you're that awesome.
I have faith in you, and if you switch to diet I will slap you. Although you are smarter than that!
Good for you! I have given my Pepsi the boot, though I miss the carbonation so I cheat on him with his younger slimmer cousin, Diet Pepsi. It's not nearly as good so I find myself rarely finishing a can and NEVER getting it from the fountain. Blech. It's a start right?
BTW- Dang cute hair tutorial! I would give my first born for your head of hair. Okay, maybe not my first born, but at least a kidney.
Way to go! It reminds me of when I gave up Diet Coke 2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day ago. jk- I don't really know the exact day- I just know it was March 2008. It was tough, but I do feel like I've gained some control. However, I have been thinking lately, with everything in my life a mess, that I might just go back since it was one thing that could always cheer me up. :-)
