Hope everyone had a great long weekend! I'm kind of shocked that I've gone SIX DAYS without soda! I've definitely had some headaches (probably from caffeine withdrawal) but I have noticed that I do feel a little bit better physically. Anyone else noticed a change yet?0

Man, this has been hard. I had Chinese on Sunday night and I always have soda with chinese. The carbonation washes away the salty taste so nicely. I whined a lot, but I had a glass of OJ and lots of water instead. I think I'm a serious addict because I want one every day. I think about how nice it would taste.
But I'm doing it so far! I can't give up!0 -
Day 6, & I'm still soda free! How's everyone else doing??0

I never drank diet soda but I was a fan of soda. A few years ago I gave it up when I found out that my dad was diabetic. I reduced the sugar intake in my life. I don't think there is anything wrong with having it from time to time but I think when cutting down going cold turkey is the best way.0

8 days in a row with a drop of soda! I never thought I would have been able to last this long with out any soda.
I use to want to drink soda, just became a habit many years ago. So far I haven't really had a bad craving for it.
Let's see how the next 22 days go!0 -
I almost gave in and got a diet soda today.....but i grabbed a sove lifewater instead.....I MISS SODA....but...i know its not good for the insides, so i must stick with water....the upside is that i have been drinking like 2 64 glasses of water a day0

One week down!!!! Is anyone else amazed at how quickly you can become a "non-soda" person? I think my worst "craving" times are right after dinner, but I've held strong so far. Glad to see other people have been doing well too - keep it up peeps!0

Made it another weekend! 12 days down! I think I've learned that for me soda isn't really an addiction, it's just extremely convienent and easy. It's every where!
Let's go another 28 days!0 -
12 days down! My sister tried to con me into drinking a soda today. I told her I was doing a no-soda September and she said it wouldn't count if she bought it for me. :grumble: But I resisted and I survived. It feels like it's getting easier to say no.
Yesterday I got a Simply Orange juice while grocery shopping and MAN, that was a real treat after having nothing but water the last 12 days.0 -

So what you are saying is that your sister is a sabotager?? lol.....
i tried crystal light, but it is way too sweet for me. It actually like hurt my teeth it was that sweet0 -
oh but i have at least been drinking 2 64oz huge glasses of water a day!0

I am in for the month of September!! I love Coke and Sprite so this will be tough one.0

OK count me in! I get my morning sonic large diet coke for 99 cents and then finish the day out with water. I know aspartame is NOT good for me, but nothing tastes better than that first drink of diet coke in the morning. I don't drink coffee so my only other alternatives are water and unsweet tea. If I am giving up diet coke then I feel I must give up the packets of flavoring (ie crystal light) as they have artificial sweetener in them too. I gave it up for like 10 months but went back to it because I didn't see or feel any differently. Wishes I would have stuck it out. Just nice to have a variety to choose from I guess!!! Since I am starting mid month I will shoot for the end of October! IF I can do it a month what is another 2 weeks right????0

Officially 2 weeks! Not hard to pass up the soda, but the convience factor is off the chart. Trying get drinks that dont have any calories isnt as convenient! It's a bit harder when traveling. But, even though I'm away from home I have still managed pretty well. Still no soda.
Only another 16 days!0 -
Good luck to you guys! I haven't had pop for over 6 years. It is so great!0
-
I'm in. Been drinking more diet coke recently as I don't drink tea or coffee. I've been reading loads of bad stuff about fizzy pop as we call it lol. Am I still allowed to drink sugar free cordial though? Zara0

For those of you struggling, stick with it! I quit soda Memorial Day weekend, and it was harder for me than quitting smoking! I CRAVED diet coke. But, after the initial 3 days of horrible headaches, i felt 100% better! I rarely ever get headaches anymore, and I find I actually crave WATER now haha. Plain old water.
I'm interested to see how those of you who will have a soda at the end of the month are going to think it tastes....I took a sip of diet coke 2 weeks after quitting and it made me feel sick!0
