On Wednesday morning, the day after pancake day and the first day me lent, I decided I would give up Coca Cola.

I thought maybe there was something better I could give up, like exercise or vegetables, but after much deliberation, and a call from a listener to my radio show to tell me that drinking Coca Cola will increase your risk of cancer, I was decided… coke it was.

A couple of days in and I am already struggling. I’ve not given in yet, but as a colleague drank a nice, cool, refreshing can of coke today, I was sorely tempted.

I’ve given up coke before. One new year. I lasted 3 days. This time round I have Emma for support. She incidentally is giving up chocolate.

So that is it. No coke till Easter Sunday. I’m officially a coke addict who has gone cold turkey.

I will report back.
