Hi Robin!
You have definitely found the right place for your new WOE! This site is so full of useful information, recipes, tips and most of all SUPPORT! I was a sugarholic too and this is the best way to get rid of that addiction. It's not easy at first, but once you make it through induction, it get's so much easier and you will feel wonderful. About the cokes, I was a diet coke addict for sure and now a couple sips and I don't even want it...tastes way too sweet. Drink that water and stick around for help. Start a journal in the Bootcamp section... I just finally started mine and it helps tremendously! Best wishes for a new you!
Hugs,
Carrie
