Day 10: No Soda!

shellsrenee01 · May 2013

Just wanted to post that I've made it to day 10 without drinking a soda. Not even a diet soda (nasty stuff). My goal is to make it until June 7 (my birthday), but I have a feeling that if I can get to that date, I will not even want a soda anymore. That would be wonderful. :bigsmile:

That's AWESOME!! Keep it up!! And if you make it to June 7th, why go back?? Try for July 7th, then August 7th!!

Great work -- soda is evil!! (Okay, maybe not "evil", but it's definitely not good!)

I stopped drinking soda in high school. I was never really a huge fan of it and I've always loved water. Now I only drink soda if it's got booze in it.

Good job!!

I was drinking 4-6 20oz Dew's a day 4 months ago. I have only had 2, i think since then. It was tough at first, but it gets easier. Just reach for the water bottle instead.

I wish I had your will power. That is great!! The longest I've gone is like 3 days...

Nice!! I've been pop free for the past 3 years. It's really not as bad as you think once you get used to drinking water.

keep going just take it day by day.. yeah dont stop at your birthday

i used to be a 2-3 can a day at least of mountain dew guy..

A friend of mine challenged me if i could go like 2 weeks.. and it was one of the reasons that led me to MFP

now its almost a source of pride , to see how long i can keep going.. not gonna say ive quit forever but i am doing great

there are only certain times when i want one bad.. as i was at a convention for work in the casino and got a cheat meal of a big burger and fries.. i wanted a soda so bad, but just got water. or out at the Phillies games or something.. i am not a beer drinker. do like wine just never liked beer

think its a big reason for my weight loss

proud to say i havent had a soda since 8/4/12!!

I used to guzzle diet pepsi... I realized what I am craving is the carbonation so I switched to seltzer water which I like! And I hardly even drink that now. It is all just a process of your body getting used to not having it, but it is not so bad.

Great Job!! I'm on day 31 with none. Mt. Dew was my addiction, 6-8 cans on average per day!!

shellsrenee01 · May 2013

Thanks everyone! And good job to those that have been able to give it up! My love is coke. At least 24 oz a day, if not more. Was getting expensive and always put me over my calorie limit! I'm curious if I can remain soda free for any real length of time

Wonderful: I've only tried once. What is your reason?

phetsanie · May 2013

You can do it!! I'm nearing day 100. It gets easier. When I started, I hated water. I thought it was gross. Now I crave water.
It's weird (the thought of me craving water.. not the water itself

), but awesome

June 7th is my birthday too, woohoo.
Awesome job on cutting out soda cold turkey that is nuts. It really can be an addiction to some people as I came to realize when my husband was buying liters every week and downing them in no time at all. Money was being spent like crazy when it could have been spent on wiser things. Slowly though I stopped buying soda when I went shopping and he weaned out of drinking it except on some occasions, and I take sips every now and again.

I was a mountain dew lover and brisk(yeah yeah not technically a soda but still horrible) and could drink like 3 cans a day but I would always have to flatten it as I hate carbonation. My issue was that I despised water! Slowly I made it the only thing I was able to drink at work and such and now I crave water constantly!! I love flavor though so I infused my water a lot especially during the summer. Some combinations are magnificent. Watermelon/Lime/Mint water is to die for

ohmscheeks · May 2013

Wow, congrats! I hope to one day even think about giving them up, lol. #kudos

cmcis · May 2013

Congrats! That is a definite calorie saver. I have myself cut down on Coke and now only have it when I go out to see a movie. I can't seem to watch a movie (in the theatre) without popcorn and coke.

purplelizzard · May 2013

21 days with or without something will make or break a habit! So keep it up for 21 days straight and you are golden! Good luck and congrats!

tamjak · May 2013

I have gone 75 days with only have one Coke Zero during that time and I used to drink 3-4 of them a day, every day. I feel a million times better with no deep slumps like I used to have after the caffeine and the sweetener in my sodas wore off. With no deep slumps, then the temptation to just reach for something, anything to get picked back up is almost all gone. Bonus!

Keep going because it is worth it!

Day 10: No Soda!
