This is the old huffmannurse. Happy Friday Morning peeps. I have been so lonely all week without my nursefriends!! :( I haven't been able to log in, soooo I finally just created a new account. It's so great to be able to interact with my work buddies again!

Everyone have a great day!

I know it is so bad bad bad for me. I would really like to quit drinking it too. I have a "love/hate relationship" with it!!

Oh yeah: the sweet. Yuck. I just have to not drink it for awhile when the sweet gets too gross for me. (As I sit here with a 2 liter jug beside my desk, as my "back up supply" ! :spit:

Seriously, how long did it take to convince yourself that Diet Mt. Dew tasted good? My inquiring mind wants to know.

I liked it immediately, I had backed off regular Dew because of my GERD, so it wasn't an abrupt changeover. I had full strength at a restaurant last week and it jolted me into this week.

Coffee.

I have worked nights for 28 years and could never do coffee, have tried with the 0 calorie, no known health negatives angle, just couldn't do it.

Thanks- maybe you will inspire me to try to figure out how to kick this nasty stuff....of course, after I drink up all my back up supplies :)

Diet Coke is my final vice. I'm a social drinker, I quit smoking, never did drugs-- but diet coke is my addiction. I have REALLY been making an effort to give it up. I could and have easily had 5-6 cans per day. I think I've had 5 in the last two weeks. And it's making me eat better-- I'll want chips but then think "What's the point without diet coke? I'll just have a stupid apple"

Hhahahhahahaa, stupid apple!

I love water, I'm lucky.

Also NEED coffee. Need.

I'd like a glass of wine as well, thanks. :bag:

We all know apples are stupid. Compared to, like, brownies. Or Doritos. Or nachos. Or almost anything besides carrots.

That carrot better have ranch dressing on it.

But my hubbie just got diagnosed with T2 diabetes. He and I are about to make a lot of changes together. (I mourn the batch of fudge we said goodbye to yesterday when cleaning out the pantry.)

And diet Mountain Dew is delicious. That stuff got me through long study sessions in nursing school and long tech days during community theater shows.

Jen- Sorry to hear about your Hubs new diagnosis. Hope you can both make the transition together successfully.

Your quote about Diet Mt. Dew-- I am going to keep repeating that...over...and...over...and...over. Until I convinced myself.

The beauty is after a few it will mess with your memory so much, you'll forget you don't like it.

Thanks MrNurse- I just spit-laughed (Mt. Dew) all over my desk :saint: . I so have to make myself get off the stuff. I don't really need any help with making my memory worse.

Yikes...maybe- I just shouldn't take any chances ??!!

My wife has forbidden me to drink anymore. My memory used to be sharp as a tack, now I am as forgetful, even in daily things. Got better when I was off it for a few days. That stuff is scary, it is in the citrus flavoring they use.
