I drink a Diet Pepsi everyday. It’s so refreshing and I figure one isn’t going to hurt me.

My DH and I used to LOVE Tab and Diet Dr. Pepper - Diet A&W Root Beer for me, too.  I would love to have a Tab sometimes but I refrain.  We'd also drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.  I gave up pop several years ago.  Nowadays I either drink flat water, sugar free fizzy waters (Bubbly, LaCroix, Spring Mountain), or unsweetened teas that I'll add a little stevia to.  He drinks the fizzy waters at home but will still order a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi when we eat out.

Re: Well, I broke down and got myself some Diet Pepsi this week.

It is funny when i read your post....a few weeks back i suddenly had a craving for a Coke.....i haven't had soda in years........my significant other drinks it regularly but i can definitly resist (especially since he has always drinks Pepsi which i don't care for)...................so i bought a little 6pk of Original Coke..............and over the last month or so i treated myself to about 1 coke  out of the 6pk  each week...hahaha...............It has been a little treat......but i also decided to treat myself less often in the future...not a habit i really want to get into again...haha..but it was delicious and brought back so many memories!!!

I gave up diet soda awhile ago.  If I have to order a soda somewhere I go with regular soda.  Would rather have the sugar then the chemicals in diet soda.  At home I mainly drink water or flavored sparkling water.

I’ve been drinking Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi since way back in college in 1963 when it first came out. My sorority house always had plenty of stock!  Also drank Tab but didn’t like it as much. Diet drinks back then we’re sweetened with cyclamate, which was banned long ago. I’ve always bought caffeine free, and I’m still drinking it today, though a bit less since flavored water hit the market. In my day nobody walked around clutching a designer water bottle yet people were much slimmer then because we did more physical activity — and gyms hadn’t been invented yet. If diet cola hasn’t killed me after 60 years, I’m not inclined to worry about it now.  Cheers!
