give up diet coke

i drink way to much diet coke and I’d really like to cut down

I am finally going to give it up! I have been saying for 10 years that I am going to do it and it is time. Not 100% sure I want to give it up but life isn’t always about what I want. I am going to put $25 in an envelope and tell the women I work with that if any of them catch me with a dc – they get the cash!

OK – 2 days down – massive head ache this morning tho.

I dreamed about diet coke last night.

I dreamt that in a moment of weakness, I cracked open a can and chugged it. and I didn’t even think twice. but watching myself in my dream, was thinking….”NOOOOooooooo!!!!!”

then,I woke up.

I”m still craving it. replacing it with tea, mostly.

give up diet coke (unless with Jim Beam) hahaha

My first Coke-free day has been fine. I’ve been a little headachey but I’ve actually only had two cups of caffeinated coffee and my usual amount of decaff. There were times this afternoon when I felt myself wanting a Coke but I realised that I really just wanted to do something different so I had a drink of water instead.

it’s the litle things write? who knows why blogging about giving up D.C. helps, but it does.

I miss it guys. people at work are teasing me with it. It’s really hard!!! so silly.

but, I have been “sober” from diet coke for one week…..
staying the course.

that was the date I gave up diet coke. when I had started calling it my “happy juice” at work, I knew I had a problem. My whole family drinks the stuff.

It’s been 5 days.

So, like all of you, i’m having the headaches. It moves from one side of my face to the other. and the slightest thing will trigger it.
a stressful moment, my hair in a pony tail, wearing my glasses instead of contacts.
I tell ya…..my constitution is so sensitive!
wish me luck

I gave DC up for about a month last year and then fell off the wagon. Today is my first day trying again, my fridge is full of the stuff as is my car and also under my desk at work! Last time I gave up my joints felt better (creaky joints at 30 – not good!) My hair also looked better and I swear my eye sight seemed better too. I am normally a 7 times a day girl so this is going to be hard but I have made it to 3.30pm so feeling good (minus a slightly hazy head)

Wish me luck!!

...but I’m still feeling a craving from time to time. I think that could have as much to do with the lingering winter as it does with the habit of drinking diet cola. In any case, I’m going to keep this as a to-do for another couple of weeks—as a reminder not to backslide.
