The soda machines, yes, damn them. In NYC, they took out all the soda machines and replaced them with SNAPPLE machines. Thank you our very strange mayor! SNAPPLE is elaborated sugar water. I will rarely touch the stuff.

I love Dr. Pepper but only drink it when I am driving, on vacation. At rest stops, you know. How about home-made iced tea in a thermos? Put two teabags in the teapot, microwave it for 3 minutes, and let it cool. Then you can gradually switch to the herbal no-caffeine teas and your head won't know the difference. No, I know, but don't put sugar in it. You can get to love it.

... Diet coke !


All that aspartam cannot be good for me ( and studies do show that it can cause a lot of harm)

can you tell more about this? I am interested. I am addicted to Diet Coke with Lime. mmmmmmmmmm

It is a bit difficult to separate the sensationnal from the real in the case of aspertame , but here what I"ve found this morning :

"Outside of the long list that the FDA has put together pointing out the symptoms and adverse reactions that people have to aspartame (including abdominal pain, brain cancer, chest pains, fatigue, hypertension, impotency, migraines, numbness, rashes, seizures, tremors, vision loss, weight gain and death), this man-made chemical also mimics symptoms or worsens diseases such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, lupus, diabetes, Alzheimer's, ADD, lymphoma, and severe depression."

For me even if half of that would be true , I would still try to stop. I am trying to put in my body food that will at the same time please me and be of some utility. And Diet coke had only the pleasing aspect of food , with no other redeeming qualities.


I had a small relaps this weekend: I had a can of diet coke eith lime and a diet pepsi. But I dont feel too bad about it because weekends were not the time where I was drinking the stuff , it was during the week , at work. I is so bad that , this morning , going up thr elevator to the Office , I was craving Diet coke !!!!!
