diet drinks

I've always drank lots of fizzy drinks, and I tend to want flavoured drinks much more than water. Since I've started here I've been using diluted stuff like Mi-wadi to flavour my water - especially if it's mains water that still has a taste of chlorine/flouride, whatever they use to treat city water. I do love diet coke and I have coke zero here for when I'm drinking vodka on a night out. I'm in college so some amount of drinking on nights out is inevitable but I'm trying my best, and trying to use vodka and diet drinks as alternatives to beer etc. - and drinking vodka straight, hahah.

I don't know, the way I see it is to do the best you can and allow for at least a little leeway. I'd hate to totally deny myself and then crack, losing my progress. But that's just me. Gradual change seems to be overall more successful

It's got to be the caffeine that you're addicted to right? It can't be the taste of the diet soda, those things are awful. You can get a cheap bottle of 200mg caffeine pills for about $5. Get a pill cutter, take half a pill every four hours upon waking and the last one no later than 6 hours before bed time. I've cut all soda and coffee out of my diet this way.

Believe it or not, i really like the flavor. I think that it is my "sweet" or even my cigarre (if i smoked).
Maybe starting to dilute at first until i can get rid of that

I used to drink about 2 Liters a day of Diet A&W, my all time favorite soda. However, I haven't had a single soda since December 25, 2010, and I feel great. I think that not drinking soda has contributed greatly to not just losing the weight, but in keeping it off.

I RARELY drink diet anything. If I'm going to have pop I'm going to have POP. Not fake pop.

I just make sure to prepare my meals for the day around my pop so I can have my coke. Love coke. Argh... it's like coffee to me.
