Well, my self-imposed diet coke ban lasted all of 24 hrs. So ashamed.

Posted by kelly Jul 10 '13, 16:10

I walked into SAMs Club and immediately got a fountain soda.

On the plus side, I didn't leave SAMs with any diet coke bottles in my cart. That's a first.

It realy is tough. I take it day by day. -- nm - David Jul 10, 16:29 3

No shame! 24 hrs is good. Go for 48 next time. -- nm - spamlet Jul 10, 16:18 1
- It's true. I think going gradual is easiest on the body and the psyche. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:21
It won't change overnight. Keep the goal in sight and keep working for it. - TWuG Jul 10, 16:14

it's fine. we all fall. just get back on the wagon. 24 hours is a start, and nice work considering how much you drank before. - amanda Jul 10, 16:11 13
- Somebody give me the Cliff's Notes on why *diet* soda is something to be avoided/cut down on? - con_carne Jul 10, 16:17 6

      - ::copy paste:: it's association, not causation. further research needed. (not that limiting isn't advisable.) -- nm - b. Jul 10, 16:45
  - I just look at the ingredients and figure that's not something I want to put in my body. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:18 2

- what amanda said. it's tough but you did 24 hours.. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 16:13 5
  - It sounds so silly, though. "24 hrs without diet soda! Yay!" - kelly Jul 10, 16:26 4
    - Really you drank so much before that a whole day is admirable. It's like quitting smoking, really. It's really good. I'm proud of you. - Amanda Jul 10, 16:36 2
      - yep. (and cold turkey is asking a lot. a lot a lot.) -- nm - b. Jul 10, 16:46
      - word -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 16:43
    - you're to used to it and you've created a habit with it.... - Remlik Jul 10, 16:28
