After a more than ten year love affair, I have officially split from Diet Coke. I actually cut it out (cold turkey!) about two weeks ago, but I was sure it wouldn't last, so I didn't tell anyone.
Surprisingly, I feel great and I don't miss it.
I still have my coffee in the morning (K cup, International Delight creamer, and Splenda), but the rest of the day I just drink water. I put lemon or lime in it to make it taste better.
If I really need a treat, or something different, I have juice, or occasionally tea (I've been mixing sweet and unsweet, but just one glass and that is usually if I go in somewhere to pick up takeout for lunch).

{Drinking this now}
I've lost about seven pounds in the last two or three weeks, and I am so happy. I was so unhappy with how I looked and how my clothes fit. I want to lose about ten more before the wedding.
Happy Friday!!! Hopefully the rain will stay away so everyone can enjoy the weekend.
congrats, i'm 98% soda free. your right it does make a huge difference in how you feel.
ReplyDeleteTEACH ME! Everybody says letting go of diet coke is huge, but I just can't. I'm not a coffee person so maybe that's why? HELP!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a big Coke person. We didn't have it in our house growing up and have just never been big on it.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in banning anything completely but I have cut back on soda. I know it can be hard! Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI need to cut out soda but it's so hard. I'm down to just 1/2 of one a day. I put mint in my water to spice it up too!
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB! It's amazing how many empty calories we take in from the things we drink right? Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteOh shoooot! I quit drinking pretty much everything except water, green tea, and coffee. It's just easier that way ;) but I will have a diet coke if I'm feeling frisky
