I'm writing this out of guilt. I know it's critical for me to change bad habits right now, but I have found out I can drink coca cola or RC cola (non diet) without any repercussions.

Of all my food addictions, coke is the one I miss the most. I thought I would just have one a week, but I've been drinking cola or RC every day in small amounts for over a week now. I'm still getting my protein, lots of liquids (water, ice tea w/o sugar, etc) and less than 700 calories a day, but I find myself drinking about 6 to 8 ozs of coke a day. I should try to switch to the diet stuff but nutrasweet bothers me.

So far, it hasn't stopped my weight loss. In fact, I stalled for a couple weeks and then lost 3 lbs after I began drinking the coke. I know that's a coincidence but it leads me to think Coke isn't so bad after all; I was so sure I would dump -- and even hoped I would.

I know, I need to get a handle on this. It just tastes so comforting to me. The question I should be asking is "Why do I need that comfort"?

Any thoughts on this...
