We all have our triggers we must avoid, don't we?!

This is so, so true.
I think that's part of what makes this a journey....we all have to figure out the things that work for us as individuals.
Being diagnosed as a diabetic made this so obvious to me. My doctor, who was great, gave me the general guidelines but explained that no two diabetics react exactly the same.....I can drink red wine and it's good for me, others can't touch a sip. Carrots are the same....some diabetics can eat them, some can't. I had to try it, test, try it, test....and figure out through the process of elimination what I could handle and what I couldn't.
I'm glad that the Diet Cokes help you stay on track....and so happy to hear about your successes!
