No Diet Coke Day 03

Well today has been a real struggle as I've been really craving Diet Coke today and it's been very hard not to just cave in and have some, at one Point I nearly got myself a Diet Root Beer from one of those specialist sweet shops and just managed to realise what I was up to in time.

It's a strange feeling that's sort of enveloped my head with a kind of tingling sensation that's accompanied by the near constant thought of drinking Diet Coke, to the point that I've actually been drinking more of the fizzy water than usual. When I was in M&S earlier today picking up some multi packs of fizzy water and a couple of their 345 calorie individual pizzas the desire for Diet Coke was almost unbearable, I managed not to touch it in the display but I did have a browse of the non Diet Coke M&S low calories drinks which were all considerably higher in calories than Diet Coke so that put me off.

This is really quite a battle but I'm determined to win over and I'm very glad that I'm doing it now rather than when I get to my target weight as I think I'm in the right frame of mind to deal with this now and if past experience is anything to go by I should have three days of this left maximum and at least I've not had any of the super mood swings like I had last time I gave it up, it's just the withdrawal symptoms are much much more extreme this time for some reason.

So that's about all the news for today:

• Three days without Diet Coke.
• Head feels odd.
• Feeling then need to drink Diet Coke very badly.
• Stomach cramps and muscle twitches seemed to have passed.

Well I'll sign off for now, but hopefully this will be the worst day of it, I'll let you know tomorrow!
