Jamie, I admire that you've given it up. I'm still fighting the Dr. Pepper craving. I keep saying "when this 'pack' is gone, I won't buy another." Needless to say, my follow through has been horrible.
I had a major addiction to that stuff for years. I mean, major. I stopped drinking it after my third child. Every now and then I have a diet pepsi, but that's it. Hang in there! That stuff is like crack! (not that I've ever had crack...lol)
My name is Kelly and I am a Diet Coke Addict! I don't know what it is about that stuff?
I do know that I had great joy after my children were born and as I was in the hospital, the nurse would bring me a tiny can of Diet Coke, it was so very nice. :)
al you ladies are brave. i am always worried about things with artificial sweeteners. cancer runs very deep in my family and anything that just might help me along that same path, i try to stay away from.....i've always heard that if you are craving sweets at all-eat fruit! i'm sure that'll take any bad-for-baby cravings away! =)
Well, being a diabetic since I was 10, I can't eat in between meals and diet coke has just filled that hunger thing in. SOoooo, no chocolate and no fruit.
I crave the carbination, the cola, the caffinne.
I know they put something in it to make it addicting. I've read that anyway. It makes me want to give it up even more. How can they do that?
I've also read that Diet Coke (and other colas) cause many health problems and if given up, they disappear. SO like you Suzie, I've been saying that "when this pack is gone, I'm not getting anymore" too but it just doesn't work.
Hopefully this baby will help. Healthy Babies are great motivation.
I'm not saying I'm perfect...I did break down between piano and dance yesterday and have a icy cold one!!
Yes, my name is Jamie, and I am a Diet Coke addict.
Jamie, My name is Michele....and I too am a Diet Coke junkie!!
Nothing...I mean nothing comes even close to taking it's place. Everything else just taste flat and boring! UGH, I am strong on everything but that! The only thing that helps is prayer for temperance.
I have been meaning to tell you that I am so happy that you are expecting and you are in my prayers! May God Bless You!
I know you well Jamie and there is nothing worse then a Diet Coke craving.....because nothing will cure it unless you have one.
ReplyDeleteGo for chocolate...works for me!
