Diet Soda: My Addiction Ends Today

[ColoradoEquestrian]

I can't find any real reason that I'm posting this, other than to memorialize it (and perhaps now that it's written down, I may be more accountable), but: I'M QUITTING DIET SODA.

Does anyone else struggle with this? It's out of control and, despite knowing all the negatives, I have been in diet soda bondage for way too long.

I don't drink any more than a dozen sodas/year - pretty much only at the movie theatre.

I wish you good luck! Diet soda really isn't any better than regular soda. It's all very bad for you. Good on you for making a wise decision.

I'm with you and divorced diet soda in favor of boring but harmless seltzer water months ago. If you need any more reasons to quit diet soda, see this article on what it does to your body in just one hour:

I wish I could eliminate my one regular cola per day, but I only have so many vices in my life right now.

Of course, considering how many "adult" beverages I pour down my throat, I'm really not in a position to comment on this in the first place.

You only live once, right?

OK, I just realized my posts ares not being helpful to the OP.

The only diet soda I drink is Tab because it's the only one I find that isn't WAAAAAAY too sweet. In the rare event I do drink soda, it's usually regular.

They still make Tab?! I thought they stopped producing that back in the 80s!!

It's still made in 12 packs. Try looking in a big grocery store for it.

I'm surprised Tab didn't totally kill the diet soda industry in its infancy. Nasty, foul, weird tasting. Yuck!

Personally, I like it better than Diet Coke and Coke Zero.

Well, according to the article I linked, Coca-Cola still makes 3 million cases of Tab a year. Please feel free to have my share.

I've got a case in the fridge right now with about 5 cans left, so I'm set!

"We have the technology. We can rebuild him."

Nuh-uh, hands off. He was fine just the way he was.
