Any soda junkies out there?

Like Rainey I am a diet Mt Dew junkie..We buy it and stock up when it's on sale.I just went into what I call my Mt Dew closet..I have 24 12 packs on hand. I know the asparteme is worse for me than sugar but being diabetic I have to lay off the sugar.The only other liquid I like to drink is cold,cold milk....Just as bad almost. I know it's all in my mind but the idea of drinking water makes me gag unless it is ice cold.No doubt I would feel better and would probably be on my way to losing that extra 50 Lb's I carry around. Quitting my Mt Dew habit is as bad as when I quit smoking 26 years ago.
