How do I stop drinking diet soda?!

Scalesareforthefishes

When I first started my diet, I was terrified of diet soda and normal soda. Stopped drinking it cold turkey and for 5 months I just..didn't drink it. I had 1 cup of black coffee a day and water instead of soda.
Then christmas rolled around and my guy friend was very worried about me because I was looking sickly thin ( I was in denial and thought I was still HUGE! ) So he helped me eat more and since I wasn't enjoying christmas since I had nothing to drink.. He said to have a diet soda. So I did.
Now it's been months since christmas and I have to drink 1-2 diet soda's a day plus 2 cups of black coffee or I get all crazy!
I want to stop because I eat very healthy and diet soda is the only thing that has to go! I don't want my teeth to get weak because of the crap in diet soda.
I don't like tea.. I don't like sparkling water.

Stop buying it.

do some research on how the fake sugar reacts in your body....SCARY, you will never eat it or drink it again. It truly is poison

Step One: Get a glass a water
Step Two: Drink it

Outcome: you aren't thirsty.

^ This exactly. If you don't buy it, you can't drink it

I've read that. I really don't care.honestly.. In my mind I think " chemicals over calories "
stupid when i'm trying to be healthy.
I just like how it taste's and ' wakes me up '

I drink flavored water. It adds a few carbs and thats it. Tons of flavors that taste great. I hate regular taste of water too, so thats what I do. Though I normally use a 16 oz packet for my 28 oz bottle, the flavor is not as strong for me. You can do it how you like.

I like it too. When I'm craving soda I chug water then chew a minty gum. It helps curb the craving. Then even if I wanted to still drink the soda, it wouldn't taste the same after chewing gum.

Flavored seltzer. Saved me. Add a little 100% fruit juice if it doesn't have enough taste for you/

Like someone said, look up how terrible diet soda is for you. People have been paralyzed. My bestfriends uncle was. He only drank it for about 2 years. It's all chemicals. Then look up how good water is for you. And if you need flavor, there's always those little flavor, low cal packets you can use. Or mio's been the new thing. (I personally don't like mio. I prefer crystal light.)

I quit drinking soda a few months ago and I only crave it when I allow myself to get thirsty. You've gone without soda before so just quit. Stop buying it and drink water. Try to drink as much water as you can. Like someone above said, the artificial sweeteners in diet soda are really bad for you.

I get the flavored water too. Five calories per 8 oz. of Crystal Lite or the generic alternative. I've just been introduced to Mio flavor additive as well...it has sucrolose vs. the aspartame in Crystal Lite. I've not done the research myself, but I've been told sucralose is better for you.

I used to drink so much of it, especially wen at the casino. I was always so thirsty and thought it was all the smoke in there. My son pointed out the sodium content in the soda and I was shocked. He said they do that to make you thirsty so you drink more and more. I gave it up went to water, iced tea, water with lemon. Once in awhile I will have a soda and I have to say, I actually do not think I like the taste now. You can give it up.

I stopped cold turkey about a year ago. Replaced it with ice cold water, and sometimes one of those crystal light things (but only the kind that is naturally sweetened with stevia or truvia!)

Juice is good in moderation, just avoid ones with added sugars.

You can do it! I was drinking 3-5 cans a day and one day just said "no! No more!"

It's hard but you can do it. Add me if you want.

If you HAVE to have something sweet and fizzy, get organic fruit juice spritzers. They taste just like pop, but they're healthier. Other than that, I'd say just don't buy them, and you won't have to resist the temptation.
