It's never "just" a Diet Coke

I've realized that if I could give up my daily Diet Coke addiction I would probably lose 5 lbs. pretty quickly. Not just because the caffeine keeps you from losing weight but because it's never "just" a Diet Coke. It's always a Diet Coke and a cookie (or two) or piece of cake or whatever morsel of chocolate happens to be lying around. They just go together. Today it was Wacky Cake. Yum. Sometimes I have to resort to chocolate chips. Whatever works. A Diet Coke and carrot sticks just doesn't do it for me for some reason. Oh well, I'll just keep running because I know, no matter how much I think about cutting back, it won't happen.
