I was truly a Diet Pepsi addict. I seriously was NEVER seen without a “DP” in my hands and the joke was, “when I die, bury me with a couple cases of DP”. The truth of the matter is, I know the difference it made on my body. I gave up the DP, cold turkey, one day. A week later, no changes in my “dieting” (I was currently doing my own form of Weight Watchers) I lost 6.6 lbs that week. That’s a LOT of bloat!

Now, I do indulge once in a while but to be honest I hate the bloat it gives me, and many times I’ll be disgusted at the taste now. Instead I drink unsweetened iced tea or diet green tea in bottles. I think like ANYTHING in our “diets”, everything in moderation. Portion control is key. Just like eating a dozen donuts, compared to eating a single donut… everything has it’s place. Drinking a single glass of diet soda once in a while isn’t the most horrible thing ever; however, drinking a 6 pack a day is just “abuse” to your body.

Just my 2 cents!

Be very aware of the danger of aspertaine in most diet drinks. I’m allergic to it but its a health hazard to all of us.

Yes, Diet Coke really is my only vice (unless you could prescription anti-anxiety drugs, and I DON’T count them), and I’m not giving it up. I would give up any food in the world, and I do mean anything…before I would give up my Diet Coke.

Is it just me, or are the Jillian Michaels ads EVERYWHERE? Like really, everywhere? She scares me.

Well, it certainly is a vice though far from my last one. I can say that I have started tracking my water intake today. Perhaps the good will outweigh (no pun intended) the bad? .-= Gayle´s last blog ..An Argument on Behalf of Daily Weight Checks =-.
