I have started the '3X' program. It is so named because the object is to drink 3 (8 oz.) glasses of milk every day. I started yesterday, and I'm currently nursing my third glass today.

As the customary A&W cravings came a few minutes ago, I made myself a glass of chocolate milk (because I cannot stand regular milk), and realized that there is no way milk can serve as a substitue to my rootbeer. It's supposed to. The milk is supposed to be used as a substitute for carbonated beverages.

The only way I can ever overcome it is to quit cold turkey. How do I know? Because I've done it before. No pop for 2 weeks, and the cravings are gone.

But the 3X program isn't designed to overcome addiction, it is only to improve health, so I really can't blame it. But why milk? I hate it so...that is why I take calcium pills.

I've read the success stories, though, and the teens raved. They looked better, felt better, yada yada yada, so...I'll try it for a month if I don't forget sooner. ;)
