I admit it. I’m addicted to Diet Vanilla Coke. Anyone who’s been to my house has seen the empty cans everywhere, the closet-full of boxes of empties, and the minifridge in my office full of nearly forty perfectly cold Diet Vanilla Coke cans.

Seems I’m not alone.

I started drinking Diet Coke back when I first started Body For Life, mostly when going out for dinner. Before that, I was a massive Coca-Cola drinker and looking back I’ll bet that most of the carbs-turned-to-fat on my body is from the godawful amount of sugar my Coca-Cola habit put into my body. Now if only I could get rid of it as easily…

I like Diet Coke, but I *love* Diet Vanilla Coke. When my stores get low I start planning a trip to Superstore to get more (they sell 12-packs of the cans for a measly $3, compared to Save-On Foods’ “sale price” of $4.29). The only drawback of Superstore is that they’re often out of DVC. It turns out it’s incredibly popular and the distribution deal forces them to take equal amounts of everything so they can’t overorder from Coke to make up for that. Bah.

Well, I feel better getting that off my chest. I’m not going to stop though. I don’t smoke, don’t do drugs, and don’t drink alcohol all that often, so I’ve gotta do *something*, right?
