...Thanks everyone for your kind words and support!<br /><br />I've heard/read about soda's negative effects on bones. I have arthritis so this was certainly a consideration in my quitting, though not the largest one. <br /><br />I totally feel aspartame drives stronger sweet tooth cravings, at least in people predisposed to a sweet tooth...like myself. I watched a documentary called (I believe) Sweet Misery. It was all about aspartame and FDA trials and whatnot. It was pretty...unsettling.<br /><br />Thanks again. Have a wonderful day!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-400910391678189412011-04-09T19:16:44.968-06:002011-04-09T19:16:44.968-06:00You are an inspiration to me. xoxoxYou are an inspiration to me. xoxoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033980769000802627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-80395876736211336912011-04-09T11:59:55.923-06:002011-04-09T11:59:55.923-06:00Congratulations!Congratulations!Mayahttp://loveknowledgezeal.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-53078114464218415432011-04-09T08:51:19.161-06:002011-04-09T08:51:19.161-06:00Well done.

Was quite hard to kick the habit, and it has come back a few times over the years. You are best to stay right off that aspartame, I've heard it's quite dangerous to your health.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123593037593548003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-30064670465991216752011-04-08T18:58:37.331-06:002011-04-08T18:58:37.331-06:00One time when I was on a diet kick to try and lose...One time when I was on a diet kick to try and lose a few pounds I started eating Weight Watchers packaged cookies and yogurt. The thing I noticed was my craving for sweets went through the roof. I finally figured out it was the artificial sweetener that was causing it. So I too kicked aspartame, starting eating real foods and exercising more. That did the trick! I hope the best for you as you continue to kick those vices!<br />I have quilting on my mind today.<br /> http://watchingovertheheartandhome.blogspot.com/2011/04/on-my-mind-feeling-blue.htmlLace up and Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143556081356821588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-21442104313975565692011-04-08T16:42:47.898-06:002011-04-08T16:42:47.898-06:00It's great that you gave up the sodas as it...It's great that you gave up the sodas as it's horrible for your bones. I avoid it myself and keep thinking about giving up the coffee I OVER consume each day... all that caffeine isn't good for me either.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553330657363385668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-27276442957720294372011-04-08T16:22:24.068-06:002011-04-08T16:22:24.068-06:00love the Stand by Me song, Beth...will see if I ca...love the Stand by Me song, Beth...will see if I can find the documentary on Netflix, thx!<br /><br />Some friends and I gave up cokes for a while in high school, and I pretty much lost my taste for them, except when I'm sick. (Water tastes flat then.) Gave up cigs 29 years ago and still want to smoke occasionally! argh, wish I'd never started that flippin' addiction!Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.com
