Kicking the Diet Coke Bucket
February 14th, 2008
Happy Valentine’s Day! SavvyDad gave me a sweet red track suit this morning. I’m loving it!
I have chosen today to kick my Diet Coke bucket. Yes, I am going to have one more Diet Coke and then call it quits. I’ve given myself a few weeks to adjust and I think I’m doing pretty well. It’s time to throw the crutch away.
I’m happy and sad. Happy because I have been able to exercise enough self control to actually rid myself of an addiction (and yes, I’m afraid it was an addiction), but sad because I LOVE DIET COKE!! I love the taste, I love the smell, I love the sound it makes when you pour it over ice. I love the pick-me-up that I get from it. (Hence the need to quit…) Caffeine-free has never done much for me and after the article that came out last week about diet soda, I think even Fresca won’t be a regular in my fridge anymore.
So, here’s to doing everything I can to have a successful next pregnancy and here’s to doing something else that will make me healthier throughout my life. Goodbye, Diet Coke. I will miss you, but it is time for us to go our separate paths. I know Valentine’s Day is kind of a strange day to do this, but it will help me remember exactly when we broke up. It’s not an end, it’s a new beginning.
Plus, now have a superstar red track suit.

Wow, big moves. I must say I am with you on this one. I have had to use some serious will power the last few days not to partake, but I am doing it! Good luck and congrats on the snazzy new track suit! Can’t beat some fun and cute leisure wear, my fave!

Good luck to you too! It is going to take some SERIOUS will power to make this stick, but it’ll be worth it.

Did I say I was quitting? Hmm that’s funny.
