Dear Diet Coke,

March 24th, 2009 at 4:47 pm . Posted in My Life .

Thank you for not giving me migraines or bad withdrawals today. I miss you, fizzy stuff! You’re definitely my drug and I wish I could love you without being addicted to you… hopefully someday I will be able to.

This morning I had to leave you at home. At work in the kitchen I saw that our receptionist cleaned out the fridge and there were TWO of you on the top shelf and then I remembered that I forgot I had you in the fridge from last week. When lunch hour rolled by… I had to leave you in the fridge again as I took Slimfast with me. After lunch, I had the urge to drink you but I didn’t cave in. I even told my co-worker about my addiction so now I can’t cheat.

I’m leaving work soon and I’m afraid that when I have dinner tonight I’m going to drink you in one gulp and that I’ll cave in and drink more of you. Damn you for being so fizzy and satisfying!

I can do it and I’ll keep trying all week long and it’ll be interesting to see how much weight I lose this week without you, Diet Coke.

Love (painfully),
Steph Anne

525,600 calories, 525,000 calories so dear. 525,600 calories – how do you measure,
measure a day? In donuts, in sugar cookies, in milk chocolate, in cadbury eggs. In
candy bars, in diet cokes, in ice cream, in twinkies. In 525,600 calories – how do you
measure a year in the life? How about exercise? How about running? How about water? Measure in inches. Seasons of health.

Oh, Amy. Sigh.

Eric swears by the fizzy water and juice, and the Izze drinks, but really, the only thing that truly does it for me is Dr. Pepper and Mexican Coke. Sad, sad.
