We hosted two get togethers at our house this week. My husband bought a 12 pack of diet coke for our guests. I gave him 'the look' when I saw it in the form of "thanks for you support honey". Here is the deal with diet coke and me. If I am at the store, I have no problem not buying it. However, if it is sitting in my fridge, nice and cold, I can't resist. Just can't. Turns out one of our guests also brought a 12 pack of diet coke. Ugh.
So here I am, my weakness in the fridge. What is a girl to do? My conclusion is just to enjoy the devil til' it is gone and for future parties, just by a 2-liter (for some reason pop in plastic bottles doesn't have the same appeal to me).
What is your weakness? What do you do to keep it in moderation?

First off, NICE JOB pacing your friend at TC! Congrats!
Secondly, good luck with the devil drink that your "loving" husband has put in your fridge.
My weakness is Chipotle. I keep it in check by eating lots of Chipotle. Please send help.
I used to be a diet coke junkie too. And I'm like you - if it's around and ice cold (and, heaven help me, has a lime it) it's just game over. I must drink it. And hey, as vices go, this one's not so bad...
Still though, nice to know you aren't perfect;)
for me the only way I limit my Diet Coke is to match it.
one DC one COMPARABLE bottle or glass of water.
I get tired of always peeing so Im pretty good about sticking w/one a day (which in many peoples' opinions is one too many :))
Miz.
Weakness...Pizza, any kind, brand, type (thin, pan, deep, tossed). Hummus, and the stuff you dip into it.
Moderation? Surely you must be joking. That's why I do tri's!!!
-EZ
I just figure that Diet Coke isn't too bad ... it's not like I'm smoking crack ;) Weakness: CHOCOLATE CANDY. I try to do it in moderation, but it's better for me to just step away slowwwly from my co worker's M&M dish
My weakness... A good deal - a bargain - but really just in a grocery store. I'm not a shopper, in general, but if I'm going thru ads and see there's a coupon too AND it just might provide a huge convenience over cooking (aka E's pizza culprit) I'll buy it. what do I do to avoid it? not go to a grocery store. that only works for a couple weeks...
Ha Ha - cannot believe you made it this far - my weakness is coffee in the morning and chocolate all day. Post Halloween I try not to sneak into the kids candy bags but shame on me I cannot resist! What's next on the tri agenda? R you going to the camp in Feb?
Definetly Peanut Butter M&M's..love em..can't live without them. A DQ cookie dough blizzard is super yummy too...
So I have heard over and over that diet coke isn't the worst vice. However, I now have two zits on my face. Hmmmm, yummy.
If I have any sort of sweet in the house (baked goods, ice cream, chocolate of any sort) I can't keep my hands off it until it's gone. I have very little will power. So, like you, best to keep it out!! And let me tell you, my sweet tooth has returned big time!
You are doing GREAT!! Just know that once its gone.....you won't keep drinking it. One every once in a while is OK. For me, once I stopped drinking it, it taste weird when i do drink it on occasion. Now, coffee...that is whole different story. I don't plan on giving that up.
