Really… I think I may have been one of “THOSE” babies you know… “THOSE” babies that have “coke” in their baby bottle. You see my mom loved me… She knew that coke was going to give me a better life. So she started me right away… Forget formula Coke was cheaper and I loved it!!! why wait… Not like I was much better… I only waited till my kids could use a straw! It was one of the happiest days of my life when I could share my diet coke with my baby…
Today is one of the saddest days… I am trying to “get off” the coke… I really feel like I might need a twelve step program.
You laugh… I am not kidding. I went to the Cyropractor today, he said “the coke” was bad for my heath… so I thought I would look into it… this is what I found.
Apparently diet coke can cause Asthma… Do I need my lungs? Unfortunately, Unforgivably and Unforgettably Yes!..
It can Dissolve my teeth… I am going to need fake teeth one day soon anyway right??? This is cost effective right!
Kidney issues… I already have this… opps…. All I can say is this sucks!
Okay really read the dang picture, I got the point… I am only telling you because misery loves company, and I am miserable. I need a team od diet coke cheerleaders that is y’all’s job… Got it!!!
So go team no diet coke Rach!!!
We use to be diet coke sisters. Remember? We would show up with one in hand frequently, with sweet potato fries on the side. 🙂 I kicked the habit, and I have to say, I was probably fighting for the title of Diet Coke Queen. My brother-in-law said he could make a living buying a pop machine and following me around town. He thought it would be better money than his day job…mind you he is an accountant. Anyway, it has been about two years. One day I woke up and literally felt like it was killing me. I can’t stand the stuff now. I am an ice tea drinker now. 🙂 Love Starbucks ice tea. Yum Yum. So, you can do it! I know you can. And you really will feel better. Promise. 🙂
Rach, the WORST part of Diet Coke is the artificial sweetener Aspertane. I used to drink 2 – 3 Liters a day. When I quit there was a major change in me. I was more clear headed, able to concentrate and think clearly again. And there was a personality change too. I was much calmer and less likely to freak out and rage at minor stuff. Quitting Diet Cooke and Aspertane made me a better husband, father and person.
Now I just need to kick High Fructose Corn Syrup. I ain’t giving up my Dr. Pepper. Luckily there is Dublin Dr. Pepper (and an HEB generic Dr. B) that are sweetened with cane sugar. Maybe you could try that.
Good Luck with kicking Diet Coke – it’s tough, but well worth it.
