I think I'm having...

a non Coca Cola day! Now that maybe not seem much but coming from someone that used to drink 2+ litres aday (full fat) this must be a first for?? YEARS! No Joke.. even on holiday the first thing I know as find out where i could get my fix!

Anyways I've weaned myself from full fat, to diet to caffine free to sparkly water to SQUASH! Now I never thought the day would come but I'm liking the Stawberry and Kiwi squash! Wohoo... lets see how long I can keep it up for.. maybe I should take all my chilled "reserved" coke out the fridge to resist tempation!!!

I'm so chuffed! I remember the day (5th of Feb) I decided to kick full fat coke.. now I can remember the 28th of March for kicking coke.. so just choclate to go now! :D

    Wow i'm in a similar situation- have been drinking about 6-10 cans of coke a day for the last 2 years since i got pregnant with my now 18month old daughter! This made me put on five stone!! Have gone cold turkey for the last week and although i feel tired i have lost 6lb!! though i am craving some now i think about it.

    perhaps we could set up a Coca cola support group? ;o)

    vtmil.. how's it going?

    Well I feel off the wagon!!! But today is another Coke free day and I've only bought 1x 2 Litre bottle since last week! I'm trying to cut out carbonated drinks and asparatmine (spell) and it's is going OK so far!! Just have to keep plugging away!
