Oh surely a drink of diet pop won't hurt too much except it might make you crave more. How about sugar free jello? I drank Splenda in my coffee all along and lost 50 pounds in 6 months. Go easy . I have found when I was desperate I would often say to hell with it so maybe just a wee bit of jello. but also I would eat a pork chop and the cravings would leave. So I guess I am not much help but eat some protein.
And good luck. Hang inthere, Sheery
