Major milestone reached:.... 2 weeks without a Diet Soda......When I say major, trust me when I say I was a Coke Head..... and I dont mean the white stuff! I am shocked that I don't miss it more than I would have thought. I feel pretty good, don't feel so bloated everyday! After the first few days of dealing with headaches, after that its been smooth sailing.

    soda is the devil! I heard that if you were a true soda drinker and if you quit then you will automatically lose 10 pounds. Keep up the good work!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm struggling with that myself. So far I'm down to 2 Diet Soda's a day. I know I should quit cold turkey, but I've tried that before and had killer headaches, so I'm trying to ween myself off. Congrats again!

    I wish you well on this endeavor. I gave up all soda for Lent and barely made it through.
    I believe I've kept McDonald's in business with my frequent Diet Coke purchases!:laugh:
    They sent out an investigative team to find out why the soda business took such a plunge
    during that time. I've assured them that they can relax, I'm back!

    I will be starting my "no diet soda" next week. I am not looking forward to it. When I'm having my tasty popcorn snack, water doesn't sound like a good mix. Is Perrier ok? I only drink the diet soda for the carbonation. I know Perrier is high in sodium but I am always under in that category and have really low blood pressure anyways. Hope the withdrawal headache doesn't last long.

    it has fake sugar in it and that sweetener makes you crave sweets and makes you hungry. I heard that drinking regular soda is actually better for you.

    I am no doctor or scientist but that is purely what I have heard.

    I will let someone else tell you all the bad things it does to the body, even though it has zero calories, it has all the bad chemicals.......Not saying I will stop completely forever, because there are certain foods I will want one with (going to the movies and having a big *kitten* bucket of popcorn for example...... I need my mini-keg of Coke Zero to go along with it!)..... BUT, i am going to try and stick this out as long as I can one day at a time... its my little thing to break my dependency on...... when I want one as a treat I will have it..... but for now, I am shooting for 1 month without and see where it takes me.............

    Just calculated it up...185 (and counting) days without a soda.

    Not even a rum and coke.

    I don't think any of you understand how much that last one hurts. :sad:
