I conquered the urge to drink a soda

I saw this new commercial on tv about 3 new favors of mountain dew. It was really tempting and I almost gave in to that urge yesterday afternoon. I went to the vending machine looked at the soda and realized I had the strength and will power to resist the temptation. It made me feel really, really strong and motivated. Instead, I filled my cup with water, and I was content. I just wanted to share that with everyone. :wink:

    Good for you! I decided about ten or more years ago not to drink it. Never looked back.

    I used to drink 2 or 3 cans of coke every day. So far this year I've had just 2 and didn't enjoy either.

    Once you can get past the urges the willpower to say no is so strong you don't look back.

    Well done you :smile:

    That is so great!

    I was addicted to soda (every kind) as a teenager (17 yrs ago). I learned some things about soda that I didn't like so I gave it up cold turkey. It was so hard for me at first but then one day it just didn't matter to me. Just recently, I accidentally sipped some sprite...thought it was my water. The carbonation bursting on my tongue scared me. I thought something was biting my tongue! There is no appeal there whatsoever!! Keep at it and eventually you will wonder what you ever liked about it.

    Great job.

    Woohoo! Good for you!

    I feel lucky sometimes that I never crave softdrink (although I will drink a diet coke if I go to the cinema or out for dinner), I guess maybe because we were never allowed it in my house when we were children :)
