Ok, now that I have your attention...this post is mainly meant as a tongue in cheek joke, especially to those people that feel the need to post at least once a day, a topic related to the "horrible death effects" of diet drinks (which we all know....again) So here we go!!!

I am going to die. This is my farewell letter to everyone. I have a confession to make. Since starting my weight loss journey back on January 3, 2011, I have drank at least one "diet" drink a day. I just can't drink straight water all the time (although I usually throw down a good 8 glasses of pure H2O a day). Yesterday was the worst...I had a 16 oz Diet Green Tea w/ Citrus around 11 am, a 12 oz Diet Dr. Pepper around 3, and a 20 oz Coke Zero w/ dinner.My second fridge is stocked w/ a case of the Diet Green Tes, a case of the Diet Dr. Pepper, and a case of Diet Snapple. Oh yeah, did I mention that I use Splenda in my morning coffee and evening tea!!! I know it's killing me, but I've lost almost 100 pounds since January, I take regular 10+ mile bike rides (4-5/week), I go for walks/jogs w/ my family, I graduated the Insanity DVD series.....it's horrible!!! I am, the absolute, healthiest I have been since....MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!!

Listen, we all know that Aspartame is bad. So are alot of other things that we all put into our bodies. So I'm begging you, can you please stop posting the DIET SODA WILL KILL YOU threads (every 3 hours!!!). It's a bit much.

Hope you all enjoyed the read!!! :laugh:

Have an awesome day, and good luck to all of you on your weight loss journey!!! You made an awesome choice by choosing to better yourself, and this site is an awesome resource to help you out!

    I am also a regular artificial sweetener user.... in fact, I'm about to drink a cup of coffee with sweet n' low AND "no sugar" vanilla creamer in it.
    :drinker:


    Sure, I know it's not the best for me- but seems like everything is bad for me! I do and eat what works for ME- I am not aiming to be eating nutritionally perfect at all times. I hit my goal in November of 2006 and I'm still there so I must be doing something right!
    :wink:

    I agree. I think it is all about moderation. You need to keep your water up and the bad foods down but moderation and portion control is the difference.

    Ok the bad news is I drink Pepsi Max - the good news is that it's now only about once a week, so I've got longer to live than you! Bwah ha ha!
