I LOVE DIET COKE.
I have been drinking diet coke I swear to you, since 1989. Religiously. It’s not something I’m proud of, nor should I be gloating that I’ve been drinking the stuff for almost 20 years! (GULP!) It is deliciously refreshing.. when you pop that top (I prefer canned over the plastic bottle) and psshhhhhhhhhhhh the fizz and that sweet first drink that just sends euphoric bubbles down your throat. I could not love a soda more. I have cut WAY back… I have gone up and down with my daily intake over the years. I’m sure my insides have been completely rotten out from the stuff. Now, it’s maybe one a day. Maybe. Just at around 230p when the boy gets home from school, and the girl wakes up from her nap. It’s that little something to get me through the rest of the day. 12 little glorious ounces.
Now that Mr. Knitpho is losing pounds right & left while he trains his little heart out. I stepped up my game a bit too, and try to hit the gym 5days a week and get in a 2-3mile walk/run and then a circuit weight training run through. It’s evil. But.. I don’t him to be shapely and sleek, while I’m globbing behind him, washing myself with a stick and a wet rag taped to the end because I can’t reach. HA! That was gross. Am I rambling here? So.. WHY oh WHY did I googleDIET COKE and WEIGHTLOSS in the same search? WHY OH WHY. I knew it was there, I knew all these years of being a hard core addict, just short of IV’g it into my bloodstream. I think it’s time to maybe only drink now and again as a little reward. Supposedly, it really wrecks your metabolism..and being in my mid-30′s.. that metabolism thing is really hanging on by a thread.
So.. as soon as I finish the two diet cokes left in the house. I will not buy any more. So, if I have a brutal headache and I’m WAY WAY grumpy … this is my excuse. I am going to say farewell to the daily fix of my beloved Diet Coke.
and… p.s. HI DANIELLE… the other D in my life 
HOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLA.
I have heard that the soda even diet is bad. It’s too bad though, I like diet coke best too. Funny you speak of washing oneself with a stick and a rag as I’ve thought that multiple times of myself lately. Time to get off my fat arse and lose some lbs.
“I don’t him to be shapely and sleek, while I’m globbing behind him……”
That is EXACTLY what got my butt to the gym! He started about a month before me… if you do go 5 times a week, you are better than I… we are lucky when our schedules let us stick to the 4 times a week! It is grueling….
What’s that I hear?…..Why it’s the sound of the Coca-Cola bottling plant’s CEO weeping. I could do coffee like that.
I feel much better since getting my holla
Next thing you know, you’ll be giving up coffee and booze and fatty foods and you’ll be all organic and hugging trees and….You may be going down a path I cannot follow.
Oh my dear. I feel for you. I wish I had the stoic tenacity you do. I am on FULL fledged REAL coca cola (not the diet stuff) and I cannot let it go. “If only I could quit you!”
Good luck!!!
I am proud of you…and your bones will thank you later on. Soda (particularly the caramel colored ones)leaches the calcium out of your bones and can lead to osteoporosis! Now are you glad you’re giving it up?
Good luck
