this sucks  — 3 days ago

I have officially done it. College girl, finished my 10 12-packs of diet coke i bought last month, and out of money. Day 2 without diet coke, i’m so tired and my head feels like a hundred elephants are standing on it. I just used some of my dine-in dollars to buy a bottle before I go to class. I really think it’s impossible to get over this addiction. Breakfast, lunch, dinner…it’s a part of my meal.

One week - yay me!  — 1 week ago

So I made it through my first week, Diet Coke (and all soda) free! It was actually not as hard as I thought it would be. I guess it’s good that it’s summer so iced tea and water are abundant and refreshing.

I’ve also found that not having soda makes fast food less appealing. Who wants a burrito with a glass of water? Not me.

Worth doing!

This is like a support group for Diet Coke Adiccts (DCA).
I’m Diet-Cola free since June twenty-three ^^

I’ve made it a goal to not drink any diet coke tomorrow. One day. Baby steps.

Day 3  — 2 weeks ago

Day 3 was great. I was gone all day and drank water and iced tea. Every time the “I want a DC” thought came to me, I made myself say “I don’t drink soda.” My treat while out and about is iced tea from Starbucks. It’s not too expensive and it’s fresh and delicious.

Jeeez…It’d be a real achievement to get off this utter shite.

Jillian Michaels  — 2 weeks ago

I was listening to some old podcasts of Jillian Michaels (from the Biggest Loser). She gave up Diet Coke and said it took two months for her to feel like a normal person again!

My first DC-free day was good. I took Tylenol twice yesterday to prevent the terrible headaches. I’m still drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of iced tea in the afternoon, so I’m not going completely caffeine-free.

Small improvements  — 2 weeks ago

The first DC of the day feels like addiction… I crave it and love the way that first sip feels. But through the rest of the day I have definately made improvements. Everytime I have stopped for a drink or eaten out anywhere this week I have had iced tea with lemon and I love it. It is much more refreshing and just tastes better when its 110 degrees. I have also been dragging around a water bottle when I can remember. I bought a sun tea jug and just need to start making glasses. I often grab a DC because its convenient and I dont have to get a glass and Dr it up in the least. Baby steps.

OK, so I drank my last Diet Coke today. It’s quite vulgar how much I’ve been drinking. I’m embarrassed and I’m done.

Its great not drinking Coke!  — 3 weeks ago

Worth doing!

I am not drinking Coke for about 3 weeks now. I just replaced it with soda water and now I’m drinking this. Health speaking, its the same as drinking water. I feel much better after I stopped drinking Diet Coke.

In the beginning I had a headache for few days! Its like a drug! I’m never going to drink Coke again.
