Pepsi Addiction

I just had to do it cold turkey. I was drinking about a 2 liter a day...yes those big bottles...anyway, I just decided it wasn't worth it anymore and soda was really helping me stay fat....try substituting with teas until you adjust....you will have a headache and feel like crap for the first week....it will end! stay strong...you can do it!!

Hi, ur problem isn't that u drink 5-6 cans of Pepsi a day, ur problem is that u drink Pepsi and not Coca-Cola. Pepsi is disgusting. Anyway, switch to Pepsi one or whatever zero calorie version they have of Pepsi and slowly ween urself off of it. No shame in having something like that every now and then, but if u are going to have it, make sure its a zero calorie Pepsi. Or better yet, Coke Zero =p

I'm guilty as well when it comes to soda, I grab a large Coke Zero all the time at 7 11

just stop... convince your mind that it is all chemicals you are drinking not a natural drink like water, try to go a day or two or more without it and you will notice how awful it tastes. I only drink pop if I am at a party or there is absolutely nothing else to drink, and I don't party often and when I do it's usually rum and coke or gin and tonic, etc. I just don't like the taste of it and I heard horror stories of "you can use coca cola as your toilet bowl cleaner, it works" have not tried it so am not sure if it's true.
Challenge yourself and try to go without it a day, two, three, etc. It's all in your mind, nothing else.

because no one can like something other than coke?

I used to drink 2ea. 2 liter bottles of Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi a day, for maybe 15 years.
I was raised in Alaska, and we had really great tasting water there, but I lived in Florida where the water sucks so I started drinking
diet soda's and gained a lot of weight.

I got off of soda's by drinking limeade.= 1/2 a lime, squeezed into 16 ounces of water, or sparkling water.
I use Now brand powdered stevia to sweeten. 5 calories per 16 ounce serving.

Best drink ever (in my opinion) add about 5 ripe cherries diced up into the above limeade... 45 calories total

Good luck...

Pepsi......mmmm I love Pepsi I just recently gave it up about 2 months ago. I started from regular pepsi to pepsi max (which I ended up liking better than regular pepsi). I still drunk that for a couple years. Then I started cutting down the amount that I was drinking a day and getting in more water. I was giving myself water challenges to get me to concentrating more on water and less on Pepsi. Now I did have headaches, moodswings the whole nine yards thought I was going to have to sign up for some addiction anonymous class!! lol!!! Keep you some tylenol or asprin on hand for your headaches it took me about a week to get past that once I gave it up for good but you can do it. I also felt super tired and after about 2 weeks and upping my exercise I felt great. It's hard but it's doable Oh and now I only drink water but I started buying flavored sparkling water and that gives me that "burn" that Pepsi gave me when I feel the need for a soda.

i feel the same way about soda... i know that if i have even one then I'll continue all day and then the rest of the week and so on. It even makes me want other sugar like candy and junk food. So I avoid it all together!
so you have to choose to not have any, dont even keep it in the house.. or if you are strong enough, just have one on occasion? maybe as a treat. Good Luck!!
