WHY are so rules easy to follow, but some are so HARD???

I am with you MultiMom. I seem to have a similar journey. I do very little in moderation. I have to just stay away from those things like diet soda, alcohol and many other things I should not have. If I start the flood gates are open. Besides ask yourself, what good things do you find listed on a side of diet soda can? Nothing. It was hard to give up but to be honest now after not having any for about 9 months I really don't miss it.
