Yes, its been one month since I officially stopped drinking any diet soda! I didn't even mean to at first, I was just drinking smoothies instead of my normal diet soda for lunch and then challegened myself to try not to. I now drink coffee in the morning, crystal light and water for the rest of the day. Those Mio drops are awesome! I had some at a restaurant the other day and they really help when you are bored with water.

Now, I don't miss the actual taste of soda, what I do miss is the action of pulling one out of the fridge and opening it up, weird huh? Anyways, I am going to continue to try and not drink them at all. When I go thru a fast food place, I get water or lemonade, since I don't consider that soda.

So see, you can do it! Trust me, if I can you can too:)

    Congrats! I have been regular soda free for almost 10 years now and diet soda free going on a year! I do love my crystal light though :)

    i've been soda free for about 5 weeks! I dropped 3 lbs when I stopped soda! I do miss the taste though. BUt I know one day the craving for the taste will go away.

    Water is the best.

    Seek not to desire...

    I do not miss soda. Haha. I have it once in a while (literally once or twice a month), but eh, I'm so used to filling up my water bottle by now. Proud of you :D

    That's great! Take it from someone that has never drank soda and has never understood why people do. It's disguting.

    I have been soda free for almost 5 months. Once I got past the headaches I was good. I can take a sip of Dr Pepper now and barely stand it! And I went from a never drinking water lifestyle to that is all I drink now. If I can do it, anyone can do it! :O)

    That is so great! I had 1/2 a regular coke for the first time in almost a month last week and it was just okay. And I love Coke! I haven't gotten to no diet sodas yet but it's maybe just 5 a week at this point.

    I miss Mountain Due too. But rather eat 140 calories is something else to actually fill me up :)

    That's fantastic! I just started my journey to a soda free life. I am going on 48 hours! Hope to be posting a success like yours in a few weeks. Way to go!

    My husband keeps telling me not to drink soda, not even diet soda, when Im dieting. This has been going on for years because I have always been unsuccessful with the dieting in general. So anyway, him forbidding me from it just makes me want one even more when he isnt around so almost every chance that i had that he wasnt around, say on my lunch break from work or when he worked late, i would have one. It finally got to the point now where I crave one only because I feel like that is the only time I can have one. However, once I start drinking it, I realize it wasnt what I wanted at all and I end up throwing most of it away.
