    I am 5ft I know how hard it is too carry extra weight on a small frame. I once drank a two liter bottle of coke daily...so I know how hard that is to quit...but if I did it you can do it. Walk walk walk..log log log. You can do this!

    I love caffeine and used to drink a lot of regular soda. I have nothing against sugar. However if moderation is a problem for you then perhaps switching to diet soda would help.

    Consuming a 2 liter bottle of regular soda a day will make it harder to hit your macro targets and still stay under your calorie goal.

    I was a coca cola addict for years and slowly weaned myself off of them. I first stopped buying them for the house. Then I limited it to just one can per day and then to just twice a week. Eventually I cut it out completely and didn't look back. Three months into it I finally don't even crave it anymore. I can now go out to dinner or a movie and I don't have to have a coke. But it did take time.
    My recommendation is try add limit it to just one can a day. Don't have 2 liter bottles in the house....just the 12oz cans. Or only get the small drink at restaurants...and no refills. I see you are trying to do the 1200 calorie goal. I would bump it up to include the calories of that one can. Don't let the Pepsi eat into your food calories. It's already difficult enough to get the proper nutrition your body needs with just 1200 calories. You probably set your goal to lose 2 pounds per week. So maybe you do a pound and a half for a little bit. Once you finally cut them out...trust me the cravings do go away. Be patient. Take it one day at a time. Some things are just hard to do in moderation and you have to cut them cold turkey. Usually if you can get past day 4 it's not so bad. You can do this.

    The 1200 calorie goal is a little low for someone of your size and weight. I'm 5'2 and 205 and my goals are set at 1320, you're shorter and around the same weight (i'm guessing) so you could definitely eat more. I wasn't completely addicted to soda, but I do like my fair share. I work third shift so caffeine is a must. I limit it to 2-3 sodas a week. I keep diet coke handy, just in case I get that craving. Good luck on your journey. Remember if you can fit a bit of soda into your macros than go ahead and enjoy it. Feel free to add me if you're looking for more support.
