Day 5 5 days ago

It’s Day 5 without soda and I’m feeling a lot better. This is the first day I haven’t felt like I need to take ibuprofen, and water is actually starting to taste great. I crave IT instead of soda!



Headaches 1 week ago

I’ve been drinking soda since before my fingers were big enough to open the cans.

This is my second day without soda and I have one of the worst headaches I’ve ever had. It’s been so hard to decide to give up soda because I know I’ll get headaches, and there really isn’t a convenient time in my life to schedule a week of miserable headaches. So I just sucked it up and chose this week.

I’ve been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of ibuprofen, but nothing seems to help. I know that I will feel better all around when I’ve kicked the habit, but getting to that point will be really difficult.

I miss Dr Pepper.

Ten days! 2 weeks ago

Today is day ten without soda. All I’ve had to drink in the last ten days is water, some sweet tea, one Strawberry Limeade from Sonic, and some fruit drinks, like strawbery lemonade and Hi-C. I’m really surprised at how easy it’s been. I had a real problem every other time I’ve tried to stop, and I keep thinking about Coke and how I’d love some, but it’s been really easy to keep on track. :D I’m proud of myself.



Melissa so much better...

Day 1 2 weeks ago

I’ve taken myself off my anxiety meds and I’ve stopped smoking. This is the third goal I want to tackle. I want to be a healthier person and have more energy. I already feel so much better by accomplishing my first two goals.

I’ve been drinking soda since I was born. I swear I think my mom was putting it in my bottles. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t drink it. I’m more addicted to soda than anything else so this will be very hard for me. I don’t want to just cut it down because limitation is not in my vocabulary when it comes to soda. If I drink just one, then I will have another and another. So I will be going in cold turkey on this one. Its very hard when every restaurant you go too only offers soda. I hate the pressure to drink it. There is so much sugar and carbonation in it. I can’t imagine why people would want to put it into their bodies. I don’t know why I want to drink it.

The caffeine cravings don’t bother me. Its the lack of the fizz that gets to me. There is something about the fizzy, bubbly taste when you first take a swig of Dr. Pepper that keeps me going back for more.



Day three! 3 weeks ago

I’ve started over and this time I mean it! :D I’m on day 3 and doing okay. It’s hard though. =/



Day Five!!! 3 weeks ago

Today is day five of my “No Soda Challenge” and I think it’s going quite well! I made it through the morning with no caffeine, but it helped that my vacation started today. I did panic when I went out to dinner, but ended up ordering unsweetened iced tea, which worked out once I added some Splenda. My goal was to be soda-free by Oct 31, and I am definitely doing it!



3 days so far! 3 weeks ago

I am on day 3 of no soda, and it was tough today – I don’t think it’s the caffeine or the sugar, cause I made it till this afternoon, but I could just taste how good some Diet Pepsi would be! So I had some water instead…not as satisfying, but at least I’m well-hydrated!



KatsLovinLife is hopeful for a great 2009!

Day 2 3 weeks ago

Not a success :( I had to work a very stressful 12 hours shift and I had a massive caffeine withdraw headache so I caved. Boo. On to tomorrow.
