I'm someone who rarely becomes addicted to things, but something I'm addicted to is diet coke, pepsi max, almost any diet cola. I have been addicted since I was 16, and I remember still how in high school I used to drink so much I felt shaky. At the time it took maybe a 1,5l bottle to get that effect, nowadays I could drink a lot more without change.
So, lately I've been drinking something like 2l a day, often during the night after going to the university. Obviously sleeping, staying awake and getting up have been difficult. And a while ago I read somewhere that the artificial sweeteners in diet colas cause insulin secretion - that means that even though they might not contain any calories they will still make you fatter.
Now I'm testing being without diet colas: I'm on my 5th day. On Friday I went for a face massage at a new-agey place where they also sold "Holy basil" tea, also known as Tulsi tea. As I was waiting for my appointment I read their marketing materials and they really worked. Buying something is again related to how I see myself: when I bought the tea I had a vivid idea of myself as someone thinner and more balanced who doesn't drink Pepsi anymore, at least not regularly.
Today I weighed myself (86,3kg) - I will see in a couple of weeks if there is any change.
