Well, I DID IT!!! 1 full week with out my weakness, DR. PEPPER!! I know its not that long but im still excited!! I dont even crave them anymore!! The best part is... all i've been drinking is water, water, and more water!! Sometimes I'll add lots of lemon and 1 packet of splenda to mix it up and its WORKING!!! Usually, when I would try to give it up before, I would always give in an say "one won't hurt" but it did because I would start drinkin them again! Just thought I would pat my self on the back!

To everyone else:

Ya'll have been the BEST motivation!! :flowerforyou: I read your success stories an just feel SOOOO encouraged! Keep up the fantastic work!!

Best Wishes!!:heart:

    That's fantastic, I too love Dr Pepper, but my big issue was Pepsi. I used to have it daily and I too have now switched to water, feels great doesn't it! Congrats to you on getting through the first week with a smile :flowerforyou:
  • CONGRATS to you on breaking your Dr. Pepper habit!!! Habits are so hard to break, but I've found once you go awhile without the "it" thing...it becomes a NEW habit and just gets easier! Happy for you!

    OMG! Dr. Pepper was my beverage weakness too : p) I didn't realize how much of it I was drinking until I joined here.... I still allow myself one every once in awhile because I do love it.....But it's weird because I used to crave it all the time and now it's more like..."Hey, I'm having a salad for dinner, I think I'll have a Dr. Pepper with it"...It's awesome how that happens!

    Girl!! YOU CAN DO IT!!:bigsmile: I just kept myself busy!! Also, I always had water with me! that helps! I would go to sonic and get a RT 44 water, i would ask for extra lemon and extra lime, and then i would add a packet of splenda!! I swear by that stuff! I even carry it around with me in my purse where ever i go! I remember my first night of workin out, when i was done i was CRAVING one so bad, it sounded sooo good!! but i just remembered how bad they are! it would have undone all my hard work and prolly made it that much harder the next night...so i just drank water!

    GOOD LUCK!! LET ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS OUT FOR YA!

    :drinker: YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU CAN DO IT!!:drinker:

    My weakness is Dt Coke. Keep it up. I'm trying to replace it with water. It's getting easier. The less I drink, the less I crave.

    Good luck in keeping it up

    If you want that carbonation once and awhile, then go for a Diet Dr. Pepper. I dislike most diet drinks, but I LOVE this one. If I ever have a craving for pop then it's Diet Dr. Pepper, Coke zero, or if calories allow, then a 8 oz. can of Coke.

    I limit myself to one can of pop a day so I don't miss out on drinking a lot of water. Congrats on giving it up!
