Carbonated beverages / Precontest diet

I just wondered because i find it helps if i am feeling extra deprived and craving sweets to have a ruit water or a diet vanilla coke.

For that reason alone i gave them up years ago. (Except the occasional Cherry Pepsi for a hangover!) -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
