Diet Coke is like a little God to you.

Diet Soda Anonymous? I love Diet Soda. I don't discriminate. I will drink it the next day even if it's been sitting in my cars cup holder all night long. McDonald's Diet Coke is my particular favorite but I will drink any diet soda if it's around. Why drink your calories? So. . . . . . two very long weeks have gone by and I still have not had a DIET SODA, it's crazy! If anybody knows me, or anybody on my Dad's side of the family, they will know I come from a long line of soda drinking people. Dean my 2 year old boy loves my drinks almost as much as I do. I feel guilty when I see a chair that has been moved from the table over to where my drink was on the counter and know that he has helped himself to a sip. It is a problem. Two weeks ago, Sidney says to me "Mom, Diet Coke is like a little God to you." Yeesh. Then and there I stopped drinking carbonation. A week went by and I was using my big gulp container to drink my water. Maren comes up and says "Mom, what are you drinking?" I tell her I'm drinking water and she gives me a big infectious smile. She says "Diet Soda is not good for your body." Those girls of mine, they are going to keep me on my no carbonation plan. I still think about Diet Soda and imagine myself going to get a drink at the drive through but so far I haven't had one. I'm waiting to see amazing results from my lack of soda intake, but so far, nothing yet.

Isn't it funny that our KIDS have the most influence to help us change for the better. You're a strong woman!

I stopped drinking soda about 10 years ago. Now it tastes like nasty chemicals to me. I drink water and iced tea now - both of which are 1000 times healthier anyway. Thankfully, Ava & Max don't like it either. :) Good luck. You can do it!

Way to go on the soda. I gave up the sugared sodas and the sodas with caffeine but I don't think I'm strong enough to give up soda all together! I hope the physical results kick in soon for you! :)

darn those buzz kills! Kids think parents take away all of their fun, but do they ever stop and think about all of the ways that they ruin ours? NO! I wish they would just grow up!

GOOD FOR YOU! Why drink your calories? Why drink artificial sweeteners and colors??? You'll feel better, I promise. I kicked all soda 8 years ago and never look back! You go girl.
