I am so lucky not to be addicted to coke or other soft drinks. I never really drank them, and don't really like the taste most of the time. Still, I had plenty of other bad habits to get me to 260lb

There is something sickly humourous about someone saying that.

Latte is another weekness of mine though i wouldn't say its an addiction - but of course Starbucks had to come out with that green tea Latte thing. buggers.

Stewarts Diet Root Beer has been a good cruch, it doesn't taste like a diet product and doesn't leave the nasty Aspertame after taste most diet sodas leave.

I will, part of me is hoping a case of the stuff pops up on there

Hey Jessica - does the coke in Mexico taste any different? And, how can you RESIST free coke? My husband would never come HOME if they gave him free coke at work!

i cant say im addicted 2 sodo but i am with candy i have braces so i cant have it...for me it is like giveing up on drinking/smoking/drug ect... i only wish i could have some some time's i think/dream about it and get out and buy some i hate my self for it

It's funny, I'm a black coffee drinker usually, but Starbuck's lattes...! I struggle to walk past without popping in for one. I've managed to tone it down from a full-fat treble grande latte at 265 kcals to a fat-free tall cappuccino at 80 kcals, and that can easily be incorporated into my plan. Even my purse strings are thanking me.

I gotta have my Coke-- between weight loss and diabetes, there are a lot of things I am having to give up -- and I do mean give up. My brain does not care for portion control -- it seriously thinks if one cookie is good, the whole darn package is better. :-) It has reached the point that my Diet Coke is my one vice in life and I jusr refuse to let it go. HOwever, I will say that I have increased my water intake a lot AND I try not to have more than one per day. Every now and then, when I have a lot of computer work, I might go through several, but that isn't a regular thing.
