Ooh, so true… Diet Coke is my downfall, and in a good way. That and pizza are the perfect meal, up to about five times a day.

I used to run five days a week, so really didnt matter what the hell I ate, now is effing cold winter so I go to the gym maybe twice a week in a good week and just eat more and write my blog. Mysteriously my clothes are getting tighter. Not sure why.

Great post – my first time here – will be back!!!

I gave up Diet Coke a few months ago and it was the best thing I ever did. I figured out it was giving me horrid stomach pains. I attributed it to the artificial sweeteners….not long after stopping, my stomach stopped hurting. Go figure. I miss it, I really do. I had 1/2 of one last week (kiddos had been sick, had not slept in days, and I hate coffee just like you) and it wasn’t worth it. Stomach pain came back later that day. But those few gulps were sooooo freakin’ good and even now writing about it I am dying for one. But I will regret it later.

If it helps, I did wean myself gradually…I”m no health nut to be sure, but I loathe artificial sweeteners. I wish my hubs would stop—he drinks coffee daily with SPLENDA and then switches over to Diet COke in the afternoons…..

I have the same unhealthy obsession with Diet Coke. I can’t seem to weaken my lust for it!!! I crave it with every cell!!!! If you find the way to say no, tell me, tell me, tell me!!!!!

I am so a diet coke addict! And I did drink it occasionally during my pregnancy. In my defense, my dr. said it was ok in moderation. Now? I have to really watch myself and try not to go overboard with it.

My addictions are coffee and red wine. Can’t do without them. And I’m definitely more of a salty kinda girl, but every once in a while (PMS) I just have to have some chocolate!!!

My vice is coffee. I had quit cold turkey during my pregnancy and nursing, but now it’s slowly creeped back and i don’t really have awesome excuses to say no any more! I only really have 2 cups a day, but I always think about how healthy I’d be if I had none (I consider this while drinking a coffee I might add!)

I think we all need vices. Now while my coffee vice is in all ways superior to a Diet Coke vice (I mean, ewww!), I’m willing to allow you to continue to have flaws, if only to make myself look better.

Confession time. I don’t like sweets. How weird is that? So you should just come to my house, and I shall bake for you. I like the baking, not the eating. See how that works?
What’s that? You’re trying to cut that mess out? Hmm. Nevermind then.
P.S. I make AH-MAZING oatmeal cookies with those toffee chips. Not helping? I’ll move on then…

Oh come on! Don’t deprive us of our chance for you-as-a-Lifetime-movie. PUT. THE CAN. DOWWWWWN.

And LZ is totally right, diet sodas will turn you into a skeleton of, well, a skeleton. I have a PhD. You can trust me.
