"The first thing I did was give up sweet tea because I drank so much. I'd start drinking at lunchtime..." — Paula Deen

The first thing I did was give up sweet tea because I drank so much. I'd start drinking at lunchtime and wouldn't set it down until I went to bed. When you calculate how much empty calories and how much sugar I was consuming, it was staggering. So I haven't had a glass of sweet tea in three years.
