[quote=Anonymous]I have had a serious diet soda habit for 35 years.  I vividly remember being at a concert as a teenager where a vendor was handing out samples of a new calorie-free drink balled Tab.  This changed my life.  A sweet drink with no consequences!!  Approaching my 50th birthday, I now drink one diet coke when I get up, and I drink them all day long.  Probably 4 on average.  I am hungry constantly and constantly binge on sweet foods and carbs, even when I have eaten good meals and shouldn't be hungry.  I have put on a lot of weight in the last few years.  I know it is time to give up my old, dear friend as part of a general health overhaul.  I think it will be as hard as cigarettes for people who smoke.  I don't think it's the caffeine -- it's the desire for a sweet taste.  Anyway, as a gift to myself for my birthday, I want to to try one more time to do this (I have tried before and failed).  Appreciate any success stories or motivation (eg, after I gave it up, I experienced the following wonderful things .... weight loss, craving reduction, better skin, whatever).  TIA![/quote]
