This probably isn't the right forum for this one, but it's about coke so I'm sticking it in here.

I've always been one who says "Coke is my crack." Totally 100% addicted to it. I used to drink 3-4 PER DAY. I've cut way back, and recently decided that I can handle Coke Zero (but never Diet Coke) when I can't control the craving.

This morning, however, I got a fountain coke from Burger King...and I didn't even drink HALF of it. This is huge! I simply didn't want anymore.

    WOOT, WOOT!!!!
    When you stay away from a food addiction your taste buds change (get cleaned). When you go back to it (for a taste) it's an overkill on your sense of taste-ain't it grand?:bigsmile:

    You do know that Coke Zero is Diet Coke, just a little more caffeine?:tongue:

    Great Job...that is a huge accomplishment. I am a huge Diet Coke person and I actually drank (don't want to admit this) almost 10 a day....uggg:sad: :sad: I have cut back to 1 or 2 cans a day now and put water as my main focus. :drinker: :drinker:

    I'm an addict too. My vice is Diet Dr. Pepper. I drink the stuff like water. Sometimes I mix it up with the cherry too. My office has it on tap. So I've got an enabler. LOL. I quit a few months ago to cut it all out and get over it. I've slowly fallen off the wagon. My hope is that I can pull the reigns in a bit and cut my consumption eventually but I love it too much now to think about that. he he

    DanOhh is right. The only difference between Zero and Diet Coke is the sweetener that Coke uses. It's the same they just 'created' their own sweetener so they wouldn't have to pay for Nutrisweet.

    Well done, that is fab!!!

    I used to drink a lot of diet coke, about 3-4 cans a day, plus tea and coffee. I would have a can of diet pop as my sweat fix, it would also help me feel full and therefore help me stick to a diet........ I had to have some heart scans as I have a heart murmer and I was told that the stimulants in my diet were causing me to have Ectopic Heartbeats. It basically made me feel like my heart was skipping a beat!!!! When ever it happened I would feel phyically sick.........So scary to think a drink can do that to you!!! I have massively cut back, very rarely drink it now and would go as far as saying I no longer like coke at all anymore!!!!

    That's great!! My best friend and I used to drink Dr. Pepper like crazy but recently have only been drinking diet sodas or coke zero on occassion. This weekend, she and I decided to splurge and get real Dr. Pepper while we were out to eat and we both felt sick! It was so weird! I don't think we'll be drinking too much soda in the future!

    Thats great ! I used to demolish 4l (about 135 Oz) of Diet Coke/Pepsi MAX a day without any effort. I know how hard this stuff is to kick

    Well Done :happy:
