I have come to the conclusion that I can not give up diet soda. I just can't do it. If I drank like 6 or 8 day that might be in issue, but 1 or 2 I am fine with. I don't keep it at my house I just like to have one at work either in the the morning or in the afternoon. When I buy it, it is a chance to get a way from my desk and walk around. I brought my lunch and will be eating in today. I also will be eating dinner at home. I think I am going out to one of my favorite bars tonight, but I will not be drinking. I will just have myself a diet coke =)
