When I first started Weight Watchers back in January of this year, my friend Nate told me to "Make friends with diet soda". I thought he was nuts, but I reluctantly began to try just about every diet soda out on the current market. I was so disgusted & decided that I would allow myself the 3 point Pepsi every now & then. Sometimes, I did really good & avoided soda for a couple of weeks & sometimes I had one a day.
Finally, last week, I decided that since I have been losing weight, I am now allowed less points per day than before. And I still want the occassional soda, but I don't want to burn 3 points, just to drink it. I thought, I will get some regular pepsi & some diet pepsi & mix them together until I have gotten used to the diet soda. So we went to the store & I chilled some caffeine free diet pepsi in the fridge & took out some to try. I took my first sip & thought "You know, it's really not that bad. I can do this." And I did. I drank the whole thing, without an ounce of guilt. I also tried the Sprite Zero & actually liked it better than I liked the caffeine free diet pepsi.
I remember, when I was a junior in high school & was probably too thin, I tried some diet coke & thought it was the most disgusting thing that I have ever tried! Yet today, I did have some diet coke. I had a glass with half coke & half diet coke & it was good. I figured if I am going to be drinking diet soda, I better get used to diet coke, since that is pretty much the only diet soda that you can find when you dine out. I feel as I am well on my way.
Oh--I almost forgot! I am down another pants size!

Well done on dropping a pant size. I liked diet coke a little too much and weaned myself off it at the start of this year.
Congrats on the pant size!!! You go girl!

Nice work. We have all kinds of diet soda around here. I do like Diet Sierra Mist, as well as Diet Pepsi with lime, lemon (try ordering with lemon/lime in the bar.)
