I can't stop drinking Diet Coke!

Stop torturing yourself by trying to quit. Just drink the diet coke. There are worse things lol

Just go cold turkey. Don't keep it at your house, don't go out to eat until you can choose not to order one. Don't use it as a reward for anything. Just quit drinking it. The sweetener in diet sodas cause you to crave real sugar, as well as soft drinks are just plain bad for your body. You will likely have headaches and feel somewhat sick the first week or so due to your body detoxing from the caffeine and other junk in Diet Coke, but once you get past that you will feel so much better without it. I used to drink a lot of soda, both diet and regular. I haven't had one in over a year now. I tried to drink one not too long ago and I couldn't even stand the way it felt in my mouth.

Diet Coke is my favorite thing to drink also. I didn't try to cut it out completely, but I've successfully cut it WAY down. I drink a lot more tea these days, and finally broke down and got a water filter so I can have that instead too. Now I pretty much only have diet coke when I eat out, which also isn't as much as it used to be.

I drink it all the time - it's not causing any issues with me.

I gave it up early on to see if it helped. Started again after some months and there was absolutely no difference in my loss or the way I felt.

i use to drink only diet coke/pepsi all the time i could drink 4 litres a day no problem and though i would never be able to live/operate without it, but march last year i just quit cold turkey by drinking more water with squash now i have the odd coke but can do weeks without it and i feel so much better now. It just takes a hell of a lot of willpower and it takes a good few months for any side effect/cravings to stop. Good luck to you.

I was raised on diet coke, and for a few months I was drinking 2-3 cans a day for probably half of the week. I was hooked on the caffeine and I think the taste too so I know where you're coming from. I actually got to a point where the taste of it wasn't really all that great anymore. I switched to water and if I find that hard to drink I put some of the Mio flavoring in it. I will still have a diet coke every now and then but I have definitely cut back immensely. The first thing I wold suggest is simply not to buy it. Obviously you won't drink it if you didn't have access to it. Since you don't really want to just cut it out if you are a long time drinker (lol sounds like alcohol) try buying to mini bottles of it and only keeping one in the fridge at a time. Soda dehydrates you, so you are actually making yourself want more because you're body isn't getting hydrated. You can also try psychology on yourself. For example if you drink a second can in a day you can try biting into lemon or maybe something spicy so you start to associate something unpleasant with drinking soda. Believe it or not you can stop drinking soda, it is possible. Also, look up what aspartame is and how it was created. I found a page while I was in Chemistry class that had how all artificial sweeteners are created...ugh..just ugh.

You could start by alternating for 1 week 1 diet coke then 1 water. Then week 2 have 1 diet coke and 2 waters and so on ... Good luck !!

Meant to add that I used to drink 8 coffees a day and now only have 2. The rest of the time I have either water or fruit infusions ... I don't miss the caffeine at all and I don't get that 3pm sleepy syndrome either

1. I don't understand this addiction, first of all. It isn't Diet Cocaine.

2. If you can muster up a bit of self-control, why not just have one or two a day?

3. why do you feel the need to stop drinking it?

^ This.

You can do it! I quit cold turkey six weeks ago and I had been a pop drinker since I was about 10 years old and I'll be 32 next month. The thing that made me quit is reading up on aspartame and how terrible it is for you body. It has formaldehyde in it! I could not believe it. Aspartame is in a lot of diet foods and drinks. Please do it for your health. For every study that aspartame is linked to health problems and neurological disorders there is 10 studies to disprove it, but I think there is some weight there, and I'm not willing to put that in my body anymore. It wasn't as bad as I thought either. I only had a headache for a few days and I took a Motrin in the morning and didn't even feel it after that. Good luck! Feel free to add me for support.

I quit Diet Pepsi, then I realized that having it once or twice a week probably isn't going to kill me. Honestly, I enjoy it SO much more when I just have it on junk-food night.

I am adictted to Pepsi Max. I cannot go more then two days without it! For me it is harder to quit then smoking.
My husband say's that's why I loose weight so slowly.

i stopped drinking coke 2 months ago, i used to like cherry coke and would probably drink at least one can a day sometimes 2, i have always drunk coke so i was surprised that i managed it. the sight of coke makes me cringe now even diet coke, i had a bottle of coke zero which was free, i had it for about three weeks, i kept looking at it but it didn't appeal, i finally decided to take it round my mum's, i had 2 glasses and gave her the rest. i don't drink tea or coffee, one thing i do have once in a while is highlights hot chocolate. if you think that it is hindering your weight loss then you should stop, i find that coke makes me bloated, even diet coke. good luck

I didn't have time to read all the posts, so this might have already been mentioned.

Watch Hungry for Change (it's free on Netflix). That might stop your diet soda addiction! I was drinking several a day but trying to cut back and then I saw the movie...and that did it for me. Also, try some organic Kumbuchas. They have carbonation with lots of flavors. Some are really good and just a few not so much. They are fermented so they stink, so drink with a straw. They've helped me! Or you could try sparkling water. Good luck! Aspartame poisoning is not worth the risk of drinking the sodas!

I love it!!! No one can mess with my diet coke:)
