I remember when I finished nursing and was able to have the first diet coke I drank and thought, this doesn't taste as good as I remember. But I kept drinking anyway and got back to the point that my body feels it is the nectar of the gods. Why did I ever do that? I completely agree it is an all or nothing proposition.<br /><br />Now I tell my kids soda is bad, you don't ever need to drink soda. On days you eat vegetables at dinner, mom won't drink one. But boy is that hard.<br /><br />I still need the caffeine.

(p.s., Stevia is gross.) :-) <br /><br />And I had kicked Diet Soda for a looooong time too. But in the last month or so I've had one or so a week.

I loved FAT CAT and seriously, Cat makes it seem so easy to make small changes in your diet that just make sense.<br /><br />Robin, you are so authentic with your real deal research!<br /><br />Kate, I am drinking sugar-sweetened iced tea right now....but better that than diet soda, right?DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-19163359618117673362010-07-03T09:29:56.899-07:002010-07-03T09:29:56.899-07:00This is so cool!

I decided to give up artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup. I haven't seen much of a result yet because I think I've just been substituting sugar! But I feel good about it.Kate Fallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856887940900664692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-14842168715475920122010-07-02T20:13:44.793-07:002010-07-02T20:13:44.793-07:00Robin - I'm glad you read it!

Thank you for helping me kick my diet soda thang, and for inspiring me to eat healthier. :) I don't go quite as far as you and Cat did, but I'm really conscious of my choices in a way I wasn't before, and I think that's the important thing.Lisa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677227681455190084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-5229340202158790282010-07-02T10:32:00.616-07:002010-07-02T10:32:00.616-07:00Hi.

(Maybe I'm not supposed to reveal that I secretly read this, but I'm so impressed I just had to come out of hiding.)<br /><br />BRAVO, LISA!!!<br /><br />And just so you know, I did that whole experiment when I was writing the book, and I had the same reaction and results you (and Cat) did. It really is a radical experiment, and I really am so glad I did it. <br /><br />High five, L! What a huge, positive change! I'm really happy for you!Robin Brandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971393580756079934noreply@blogger.com
