I think it actually makes you crave more sweet stuff. It was very hard to quit at first, but now I dont even miss it. Best of luck getting off that unhealthful stuff!!! |
Wow - you have some story! I have a big print article about the dangers in diet soda - but I have misplaced or packed it away somewhere a couple yrs ago. I did just kick myself when I got hooked on it again.
And I worry about my dd - she has been drinking it almost her entire life. And now at college I think she is buying the 20 oz bottles, or filling up the hge glasses they have at all their dining spots & there they have free refills
The other plus for me will be no more trips to the stinky can return machines - in Iowa we are charged 5-cents on every can - I do have a ton to take back to the store - and then I hope that will be it!
