I hope you'll be able to stick to staying away from Coke. The dangers of a long-term soda habit are considerable, as you may already know. I'm not a doctor, but the last time I talked to mine and diet came up I mentioned that I hadn't had even a diet Coke in years and he was all, "GOOD FOR YOU!!!!" Then proceeded to tell me even scarier info about what Coke-for-life can do to things like your kidneys than even I was aware of (I'm hella paranoid about soda products.) So, if you need some validation for that choice--Go, you. COKE is BAD. If you need any motivation to stick to the no-Coke rule--go check out the shit that Coca-Cola Inc. does to its workers. Reading about the company's history, particularly with female employees, made it impossible for me to drink that liquid evil ever again. And good luck to you.
