Quitting drinking soda

also if it's just fizz you're needing, try the carbonated waters. if you need both sweetness and fizz, add a little 100% juice.

when i went through that nasty withdrawl, i thought to myself "wow, the soda companies really are like drug companies." i don't think soda is evil, but i do think it's addictive, not to mention all the waste in creating the cans, recycling the cans & bottles and all the "accidental" landfill deposits. it just doesn't seem right in any manner.

so when i crave one i just think of who i'm actually supporting (oil companies, land fills, plastic manufacturers, etc) that aren't doing ANY of us any favors, specifically people who have little voice in their countries to say "please stop manufacturing plastic near my hut" while we guzzle it down shamelessly and toss the bottle.

i'd also like to add that since i cut out soda and have been drinking ample water, weight has been dropping a lot easier.. i weigh myself all the time, but only record on a certain day, and i'm pretty sure my next one is going to be good... even if it isn't a dramatic number decrease ALL of my clothes fit looser and more comfortably.

I am addicted to diet coke at home and diet sunkist when I am at work, I get such a hard time from coworkers and family that I have such a weekness with those beverages. Did anyone have as horrible of a time getting off the diet soda as people can with regular soda? I definitely need to kick this habit, its expensive and not good for me.

I just recently started bringing my allotted amount of water to work in a water bottle and I have found myself focusing on drinking that rather than wanting the soda. It has been four days since my last soda and honestly I don't really want one. Way more full and satisfied with the water.
