Well, I have stated many times that I have banned Diet Coke and aspartame from my house. The truth is, my Diet Coke habit is really hard to kick. WHY?
I have free-range meats and eggs. I have healthy organic cereals, organic fruits and organic veggies. We have organic milk, orange juice and yogurt. In the middle of it all is a Diet Coke. I know it lacks all common sense, but at least I am being honest. I love this stuff!
The only good news is that I only have one Diet Coke a day. When I was teaching, I could easily drink five cans a day. So, I guess that would be considered progress. I really want to kick this habit for good! A recent article has given me more reason to to quit drinking this stuff and giving it to my kids!
