[quote=Anonymous]I could have written your post, OP, except that I gained about 40 pounds in my 40s (I know, maybe I got fat because the Diet Coke stimulates my appetite, but I too have been drinking diet soda since 16). A therapist suggested I would be more successful dieting if I didn't give up everything sweet (my weakness) at once. So I have cut out sugary treats and will keep my Diet Cokes as a "crutch" for now. I hope that when my diet is more stable, I can transition away from Diet Coke. Oh, and it's true about kids. My teenage boys guzzle Diet Coke because it's the only soda I keep in the house, and they see me doing it. I can't justify saying they can't when I do (and no, I don't drink alcohol, so that's not a good analogy). So if you can quit before your kids, if you have them, are old enough to choose to drink diet soda, they'll be better off. Good luck.[/quote]
