This past winter break was a minor set back for this Almost Famous Project. Unfortunately, against my strongest efforts, my dad still managed to sneak some Pepsi into his day. Also I came across 3 twenty-four packs of Pepsi in the garage when I came home from work. I instantly took the cases and stored them in the back of my car. Then I went upstairs and found my dad with two full cans sitting besides him. I took the cans and poured them down the drain. This caused a slight confrontation, but ended his push for Pepsi for the day. As the break continued, I have to admit I became more lenitent with my dads addiction because I realized I had to use reverse psychology on him if I ever wanted positive results. Whenever I caught him drinking a can of Pepsi I would just say "That's fine dad, do what you choose, just rememeber how amazing you felt when you stopped drinking pop". After my positive attempts to get inside his mind, he decided he disliked the way he felt. After a five day streak of being "pepsi free", an open case of Pespi was found in my dads car. I was instantly mad and quickly went to question him. After this interrogation, my dad's response was "Amanda, I feel so much better, I took that case of pop and passed the cans out to the guys at work for their hardwork". I was so impressed and proud of my dad. I am excited to see how well my dad does for the following months to come
