Out with the Diet Coke

While I am doing quite well, I know I have a long way to go. I decided to give up my diet coke when I started this diet. I spend a lot of time in the bathroom, but that is ok. It will get better, I know. I've been here before. It seems I have been retaining water. I have actually lost 6 pounds in the last 3 days. I believe it was mostly water weight.
I have never been much of a water drinker but I know I have to give up my diet coke. I have not confirmed it but my son once told me it was the cause of cellulite. You would think that would have made me stop immediately. It didn't. Maybe I thought there was no way to repair the damage that was already done. I still don't know the facts either way, but I should look into it. One thing I am sure of, is water is good for you. It has been difficult enough for me to drink 2- 20 oz bottles of water. That is only half of the daily requirements. I have to remind myself, babysteps, babysteps.
