The Diet Coke Thing...

So I addressed this once I believe... like 124 posts ago, so maybe it's time to bring it up again...

I. LOVE. Diet. Coke... 

I'm one of the millions of Americans who gets a little rush every time she takes a sip of the delicious brown liquid. I don't know if it's the fizz, or the chill, it could all be mental, or it could be an actual chemical reaction but each sip seems to make my day just a little bit better. I'm not addicted in the typical sense, I've quit drinking DC for months, I never had headaches, or unbearable cravings, I drank plenty of water and peed a lot more, but I don't think I ever had a moment where I thought I can't keep this up... I just decided I wanted another Diet Coke and that was that. I don't wake up with headaches and uncontrollable cravings, it's just a happy part of my morning. I don't get itchy and count the hours between fixes... Diet Coke is just, an added pleasure in my day. 

My love of Diet Coke having now been rationalized I'll continue... I've been told by multiple people about the dangers of Aspartame and how I'm basically embalming myself slowly... future mortician, you're welcome I'm doing your job for you, I just don't care. That sounds really bad, but it's like my friend who was dealing with an uncontrollable bladder... now she's a mom, so it's nothing new, but she asked her doctor what she could do about it and he told her "stop drinking diet coke" and she goes "but it makes me happy" his response was "well I don't know what to tell you, be happy with wet pants"... There are just so many more good things than the minimal chance that one day my insides will turn to solids. I mean if it really was so bad I feel like the FDA or who ever controls that stuff would put some kind of ban on it... but no ban has been placed, and the Coca-Cola company hasn't been sewed for wrongful, premature, death by Diet Coke, that we know of, so for right now, I'm ok! Granted... I haven't actually done research on this subject so I suppose I could be "all wet" as by grandma would have said, but I just don't care enough to do much more than search google for pictures of Diet Coke to go with this post... 

Here's my truth right now... I love Diet Coke and I am not ashamed to write a whole post about it! I also love Taylor Swift... so that explains the pictures...
