NSV - 27 days without soda

Because of health issues i quit drinking soda 6 months ago. It makes a big difference. I also use to drink only diet.

Stopped soda during the Fall. Next was diet sugar packets. I now drink my coffee (with non-fat creamer) and plain ice tea. No more adding sugar. If I feel the need - bitter tea or something - I use a tsp of real sugar. I really believe this has cut down on the sugar cravings. My office has chocolate candy all over...I haven't touched any of the candy dishes since I started my food diary on January 3rd.

Wow, I'm impressed! I could give up a lot of things before I finally quit soda. I know it's so bad, but it's my favorite thing. At least I have successfully made the switch to diet, so I'm not getting all the calories and sugar. But quitting altogether? That may take a while!

I also on day 27. I gave up coffee, soda, milk and alcohol. In other words, I am drinking only water.
Kinda feel like a monk but it so helps your discipline.
This is for first 90 days of year to match my 90 days of P90X that I am currently doing.
I hate it but I love it.
Cheers to no soda!!!!!!!

I stopped drinking soda in 09 when I started this journey. I had gone 9.5 months without one. But, when I had to put the weightloss thing on pause due to a pregnancy that gave me the excuse to go back. I have now given it up again (I am nursing my 8 month old, and if I have more than one in a day she gets a tummy ache) I had my last full soda on January 2nd. We went to McDonalds on a rushed Sunday morning, and without thinking I ordered a soda. It wasn't til about 4 or 5 drinks into it I realized what I had done. I gave the rest to my husband and drank my water. SO, the last soda I had was January 15th. It is a hard battle, but very well worth it! WTG!

That is awesome! We stopped drinking soda, once I found out how bad the diet soda really is. IF I want to have soda, I will split a can of pepsi throwback with my hubby. It is 150 calories per can. only has 6 ingredients and I can pronounce all of them. We bought a 12 pack almost two weeks ago and we have only had 1 can! I drink water, and I will have my one cup of coffee that I make myself that only comes out 40 calories.

I stopped drinking my Diet Coke a few years back. I might have one once in a blue moon, but mostly drink a cup of coffee with breakfast and the rest of the day is water. Once in awhile in a restarant I might have an ice tea.

Diet Soda is high in sodium.
Dark Soda such as coke or pepsi has Phosphoric acid in it to enhance the flavor, but according to my orthopedic surgeion it take the calcium out of your bones.

I gave up my addiction to Diet Coke on April 2, 2009. I know it was that day because that would have been my Dad's birthday. He died way to young (48) and I don't want to die that young. I had been not feeling well and had been reading up on some of my symptoms and possible causes (didn't want the Dr. to yell at me about my weight or anything) and one common theme was Diet soda. The first few weeks were awful.. I can't lie about it. But now, nearly 2 years later, I feel amazing!!! No, the weight didn't magically disappear, and no, the cravings for it didn't either, but I stand by my decision and it was the best thing I ever did for myself!!! Now I drink water, all day, never had been a coffee drinker, but I do have an iced tea at lunch usually. Unsweetened of course! I encourage everyone to stop drinking soda. The chemicals in diet soda especially are very very bad for you. My back pain is less, my headaches are gone, I feel more alive than ever... it's amazing!!!! I should note that my addiction was so bad thatI probably averaged about 150 oz of Diet Coke per day... yup, it was really bad!!!!
