My Coke Zero Addiction

I was trying to find the time to talk about this, but I’ve actually gone back into using the range of mechanical keyboards that I own. So I type this confessional slowly on my Corne Keyboard.

I’ve really been stuck on Coke Zero. Everyone’s saying its good enough to drink without worry, but at this point, I’m just worried about my reliance on the drink. I spent a good year away from alcohol already, and to develop an addiction to another drink wasn’t really the plan.

The current consumption amounts look like this; I’ll approach it backwards:

  • Today: One Medium Coke Zero from McDonalds
  • Yesterday: One glass of Coke Zero from my 1.5L bottle
  • Sunday: One can of Coke Zero, and one glass of Coke Zero from my 1.5L bottle
  • Saturday: Two glasses of Coke Zero from 1.5L bottle.

You get the picture. Basically the minimum of one can of Coke Zero everyday.

I feel it in my face the most, I think. I think my double chin is definitely growing, and a bit more padding around the sides. I know it’s zero calorie, but I think its the other food I eat as I drink, and that adds a lot. I’d want some chips, some fried food, some carbs so that the acidity of the drink hits real nice. It tastes great, so I just keep going, and going I have been.

I don’t know what I really wanted to take action of when sharing all this, but I know that I ought to cut down. So after today, or maybe tomorrow, I’ll do a hard stop and just drink other liquids instead. Hopefully drinking a lot more water. That will be a simple good aim.
