What kind of friend abandons you in the middle of an joyous addiction to pursue a healthier lifestyle?
My friend Danielle.
Who's facebook status today was...
Danielle has really, really, really big news. Are you ready for it...? I'm officially off diet coke!!!!! Haven't had it at home for weeks, and finished my last one at work today. I'm going to limit myself to fountain DC only when out to eat as a special treat. How shocked are you right now???
"pfft" is what I say to that!
Alright Sarah...reflection time:
What kind of friend is so unsupportive of her friends "new healthy lifestyle" because it leaves her alone in her own addiction?
Answer: ME
(sad face)
Alright.
I'll be a better friend and try and be supportive.
At one point I felt like we could all sing a little...
..."We're all in this together"
(High School Musical style)
...while chugging these beauties...
(aka: liquid gold as my friend Debi would say)
and now one by one everyone is cutting the habit.
I know, I know.
It's BAD for you.
But I don't drink and I don't smoke.
I drink a couple diet cokes a day and read celebrity gossip.
Is that so bad?
(Don't say yes)
Lets have a look back on the love affair....
The bridesmaids at my wedding:
The mini can of diet coke Danielle tagged me in while on her trip to Cali:
Waitress: I'm sorry we don't have coke, is pepsi okay?
Diet Coke Fan: I don't have cash, is monopoly money okay?
At a party when they did NOT have Diet Coke but Diet Pepsi
(horrible horrible photo of me btw):
Me & Danielle in a photo booth, laughing and enjoying life and most likely...
ENJOYING A DIET COKE AS WELL!!!
Us at a Christmas Party ...
PROBABLY ENJOYING A DIET COKE!!!
(okay, so maybe I don't have as many diet coke photos as I thought...)
So in an effort to be a good friend...here's me...trying out this "Healthy Lifestyle" and having a no diet coke evening...
Club Soda & berries:
So reluctant...
being a good friend is hard sometimes...
Any Diet Coke lovers out there wanna holla back at me?
I need the support...
clearly.

Sarah,I am addicted to diet coke to, and SO many people have given me other drinks to try to satisfy the craving, Im with you saying it dosnt work!! Lots of those people who tell me how bad diet coke is drink coffee & I dont, So I tell them its my coffee and it normally works!
I'm hollah-ing back... only my addition is Coke (fully leaded). I've recently switched to Diet, but anytime I'm out and about I always go for the original. I feel your pain... you're not alone.
I am and have been seriously addicted to Diet Coke for so long! It's bad, but I just can't break it. Wish I could though!
Personally, my poison of choice is Dr Pepper. But my husband is a Diet Coke Addict. It's a regular occurrence that I find empty cans in our shower. Yes, our shower! Not to mention all over the rest of our house.
As a Danielle who loves Diet Coke, I must say that this is my kind of post! :)
Beautiful photos too, BTW.
Thanks so much for linking up to Not "Baaad" Sundays! You were nominated for Best in Show this week - please stop by and vote :)
Oh, how I know what you mean. I eat a fairly clean diet, but I totally foul it all up with that glorious brown liquid. Be strong!
I found your blog through Shanty2Chic! Great projects!
