seven months in, my soda fridge is basically a museum

not a milestone post exactly. i started in winter, mostly because my 2am ranked sessions were half soda half regret. first few months i stayed on the same starter pen and just swapped: diet root beer, then sparkling water with those little flavor drops, then plain cold water. i didn't track much except how may cans were in the recycling. somewhere around month five i noticed i could queue one more match without needing a drink to stay awake. month seven: down 29 lbs, sleep is less trash, and my desk has actual clear space. the weird part is the appetite quiet didn't fix the habit by itself; i still reach for a can out of reflex. i've been just replacing it with a seltzer and going back to the game. anyone else find the late-night hand-to-fridge autopilot lingers after hunger chills out?
