    Good luck with that. I never say I'm giving up anything. That just makes me lust after it harder. I just ask myself if there is a healthier alternative. And If I must have it.... I will

    Is it diet soda that you drink? I used to have at least 5 Diet Cokes a day and if I skipped a day, I would get headaches, get tired, etc. - like withdrawals! Caffeine doesn't affect me (I could have an espresso 5 minutes before going to sleep), so I'm convinced it's the aspartame.

    At any rate, I did a kick-start diet back in the middle of January which limited the items I could consume for 5 days. So, I went off the soda cold-turkey at that point, and haven't had one since! It's actually nice to feel refreshed rather than bored when drinking a glass of water.

    If you're having a hard time, I would give up a few things at once so you're not focusing on that one item that's missing from your day.

    Good luck!!

    I WILL JOIN YOU! I only drink a lot of soda if it's available to me but its always what I go for when i'm at the store or out to eat. And I can't stand Diet soda so its the all regular to me. It's killing me! I know i've gained a ton of weight in the last year because of it.
    We can be each others support!
    ADD ME!

    On Jan 1st 2011, I decided to give up soda. I was drinking dt mt dew all the time. I haven't had the first drop of soda since then and I didn't have any headaches or anything. I was very surprised. I drink alot of flavored waters and caffiene free tea w/ splenda. I really don't miss the pop much at all.
    Good luck to you.

    what a fantastic goal you have! i gave up regular and diet soda for almost a year, and you can really feel the difference! plus your waistline will thank you :) if i crave the fizzy feeling, i'll drink seltzer water with lime. for the most part, i just drink lots of unsweetened green tea.

    you can do it!!! :)

    So?? How's it going for everyone that decided to give it a try? As an ex-Diet Coke addict (103 days clean :tongue: ), I can tell you it feels great to get it out of your system and not be craving it all day long.

    I hope you're all finding success!!

    I have not had diet soda in approximately 3 months... I am drinking more Crystal Light water however as well... some unsweetened tea occasionally... hang in there everyone... perseverance is the key.
