I use to get headaches all day at work and I always thought it was from being on the computer all day but it's not -- it was from the Diet Coke because after I gave it up (and after the detox period), the headaches went away completely. 
I've also noticed that my teeth are a lot whiter since giving it up. I'm going to have my teeth bleached when my braces come off anyway but still it's nice to know that I'm not drinking anything to make them darker.
It also really helped me because hubby doesn't not drink Diet Coke. We're a lot alike in that we don't drink coffee either (only tea). Hubby is very in shape (extremely fit and works out) and he only drinks water and eats healthy. So he was really supportive of me and was my biggest motivation. Sooo many times I almost fell off the wagon and ordered a Diet Coke while we were out at a restaurant but he always gave me pep talks and told me how great I was doing and not to spoil it because then all of my hard work would have gone down the drain. What can I say, the man is a gem.  |
Your hubby sounds like a great guy. You're happy to have him. My hubby is the same, he does not drink coke at all and he is a health freak...
So he offers me a lot of support...Seems like we're both in good hands!!!
