Hey friends....I am happy to report that my quest to wean off of Diet Coke has worked. I am now in my 2nd month of not drinking fountain DC's. Hope Burger King/McDonalds/Subway will be able to get along without my patronage.
I have been guzzling water, drinking tea and chocolate 1% milk. Every now and then I sip on some Diet MT. Dew or Diet Sierra Mist. Since those are not my fav....I don't drink much of them.
I have not had the headache withdrawal symptoms that I anticipated.
So....the other day I bought a drink from BK just to see....and I could NOT drink it. The taste was not appealing to me! Didn't see that coming. I left it in the fridge for Larry.
We ate at Memphis Pizza Cafe last Sat and I ordered water and a diet coke....just to see. Drank the water instead.....the DC was no BIGGIE!!!!!
I am puzzled by decline of the taste craving. DC no longer has its pull on me. I am not enslaved anymore by that drink. Interesting......I wasn't expecting that outcome.
So....hope my bones are loving this new me! I don't know that I will be off DC forever.....but for now...I am free of the taste and craving.

Yay for you! I have them more often that you now, but WAY WAY less than I used to! I feel like the addiction is gone. I still enjoy the taste (mainly of something different).
I have noticed that when I don't drink DC and I get hungry... that's it. I just feel hungry. But if I have had a DC and get hungry, I get shaky and feel awful. It's the diet coke! Isn't that something?
I feel better too, don't you?
Congrats! I was a huge DC junkie for a while too! That stuff is addicting. Now I CRAVE water-- I dont know what it is... just started drinking it instead of other drinks and BOOM-- now I love it.
Glad you aren't addicted anymore!
Miss seeing yall-- can you believe Erica and I graduated 8 years ago!? crazy.
