Day 4......

Good job, it will get easier.

I was really hoping I'd wake up today feeling better but looks like that's not the case!  I am still tired and have a massive headache!  Please let this be the last day : (

 I know when I've quit in the past, I felt like I was in a fog for a whole week.  But the second week was so much better.  Thanks for your words of encouragement.  I have to do it, so I'm tyring to prepare psychologically by giving myself pep talks.  They sound something like this.....

Diet coke really is evil...nothing redeeming about it.  Someone makes alot of money off of my poor health and the related misery I experience  from consuming it.  
I am reclaiming my health from a corporatation that doesn't give a damn about the health of me or my loved ones and will gladly profit off of slowly killing us.  Go to Hell, Coca Cola (and all the other pop manufacturers).  I'm in charge of my health and well being and I'm takng back my power!  Water is the elixir of life and I will drink this gift from mother nature rather than the poison that I have to pay for.  I am the master of my own destiny. I can do this.  I will do this.

Yes, sounds like an extreme pep talk, I know, lol.  But I'm a bad diet coke addict...been hooked since I was 10 years old.  I need all the determination that I can find.  And of not just to quit, which I've done several times...but to never relapse again.  I can't even have a sip.

Again, hang in their pinkjellybean.  You are doing amazing and you will overcome this!
