So 18 days ago I started my Diet, has lost 6 pounds.

I used to be a Heavy Coca Cola Drinker at least 2 liters per day.

When I started my diet I replaced all My coke intake with Water.

But I Miss the Coca Cola.

I Miss the carbonated liquid going down and burping out that hot air out.

:(

    I was a heavy pop drinker too (diet pepsi)

    I found that if I buy a little bit of sparkling water that I can get a small amount of that amazing carbonated feeling without so much guilt! I use it fairly sparingly, but it really helps when I am craving pop!

    I am still drinking a small amount of pop too, but only after I have at least 8 cups of water and I try to reach for the sparkling water first to see if that helps!

    I miss my coke, too, and not diet. To show how much, true story. I was picking up my younger son from school a few years back. He had a bottle of coke, half gone, that a teacher had bought him after school. He ran up to me and said I could have it. Then his teacher came over and, in a loud voice (and lots of people around), said "Right. Your son told me you were a coke addict!"

    And I still miss it! ????

    I looked at your diary and you are under by a bit quite a few days.

    maybe you could have a can on the same day every week and look forward to it?

    I quit diet soda about 6 weeks ago. I've been drinking soda since I was a kid. I get a craving once in a while, but I feel better without it.

    This.

    You were under by almost 500 calories yesterday. I believe a can of coke is 140.

    I used to drink a 2-3 cokes/day. I quit for a year, then started up again. When I stopped again, I instantly started losing weight. Not just from the coke, I had major changes, but that helped. Recently I relapsed and I'm really counting today as "Day 1" of my final diet journey.

    But, what I wanted to tell you is that, you CAN do it!!!!! And once you quit having it, you don't miss it so much- just give it time. Also, I found that I'm tempted b/c it's still in the house and stares at me when I open the fridge (I moved in w/ my dad after relocating last year). BUT, I'm finally getting my own place again next week, and I will NOT keep it in the house. When it wasn't around, I went a year and didn't bat an eye.

    So- just hang in there, and the cravings will go away!!!! You can do this!!!

    You dont have to give it up completely, why dont you have a can every couple of days/once a week?
    As long as you work it into your calories its fine :)

    Try one and see if you still like it. If you can manage it, get those little 12 oz bottles. On a day that you're under on your calories, have one! I found that when I gave up soda, though, going back was a weird experience. I tried one and it was GROSS! But I somehow managed to get hooked again. I'm weening off one more time!

    Is there a reason you cut it out completely? If you have a problem controlling your intake then I understand (I had to cut out chips completely for this reason - it was the one food I couldn't portion control). Otherwise I'd say try and fit one into your calories if you're under one day. If it's something you really enjoy then don't cut it out completely.

    Personally, I was never a coke addict or anything but I do like coke. I figured out that it wasn't necessarily coke that I like but just the fizz. So now I drink club soda and every now and again I have a coke (usually with rum :P). After not drinking it for awhile I realized it wasn't all I had cracked it up to be.

    Good luck!
