I love Diet Coke. Gave it up about 5 yrs or so ago - went about 1 1/2 years without one - then I had one and let the demon out of the bag
I usually drink a can a day - some days 2. I had been thinking about giving up Diet Coke for the last few mths - but just a thought, no plan. Then last week, I drank the last one - and was too lazy to go to the store
to buy a case.
Anyone else not drink soda or thinking about giving it up?
I thought I would have some withdrawals. Not one bit. I do drink a lot of tea (no sugar please) - so I still get some caffeine. But I have been concerned about everything in diet soda. And the possibility that drinking diet soda makes you eat more.
So last weekend, I was too lazy/busy online to go to the store, and the beginning of week was really stressful (normally when I would have craved a diet coke) - but what happened was over the weekend, I had no urge to snack - hardly ate at all, then at the beginning of the week I finally put 2 & 2 together -- and I do think for the most part my appetite has decreased due to not drinking the DC.
Then I found this online tonight
