Diet Soda Fast Day Negative Something

It’s finally happened. I’ve had too much Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. I never thought it would come to this, but at some point I’ve got to realize that drinking what is probably carcinogens at the rate I’ve been is a bad thing. I’m going to take it slow, first, a week. Then re-evaluate. BUT I can’t start this until I finish my current case of Diet Dr. Pepper, which will be in something like three days. Because absolutely nobody cares, I’ll be giving status updates each day during my fast. (I’m fairly certain that this is not a fast, but for the purpose of sounding worthwhile, I’m going to be alternating between calling this a fast and a challenge.)

So… day negative something (possibly three):
Today, I decided I should not drink as much diet soda as I do. I am going to attempt a week without it. BUT I can’t start this until I finish my current case of Diet Dr. Pepper, which will be in something like three days. In preparation, I spent some time thinking about what it will be like when I’m not drinking Diet Dr. Pepper for at least a week. My hypothesis is that I’ll really wish I were drinking it, and instead I’ll drink too much coffee.
