How to stop drinking soda
It made me
Feel Better
 "Soda doesn't even taste good anymore."
How I did it: I was drinking way too much soda, and figured I was putting too much caffeine and sugar into my body. I just quit on a whim one day cold turkey. Lessons & tips: Don't give up! Tastes change eventually. You might not like water now but your taste buds will adapt. :) What motivated me to keep up with it is: I lost a bit of weight. Since I wasn't putting as many calories in my body from the soda, my intake went down and I became slimmer. Resources: I sampled a ton of bottled waters and like Zephyrhills the best (there IS a difference in taste from brand to brand)... but it is probably cheaper and just as healthy to drink from the tap (as long as you have a filter). Use ice or keep the bottles in the refrigerator. It's better and more refreshing if it's really cold. :)

How I did it: I got up the willpower and simply stopped, nothing more than that. I've replaced soda with seltzer, not flavored, just regular but flavored is fine as well. I feel healthier and have more energy now. Read how I did it…
SanguineSort is saying yes
How I did it: The same way I stopped eating meat- cutting out one type at a time. I stopped drinking dark soda first- then clear/green kinds. I kept remembering how much better it feels to be healthy and reconciled my loving relationship with water <3 Read how I did it…

How I did it: It was really hard at first, because I was very addicted to soda. My dentist told me that the corn syrup in sodas sticks to your tooth enamel and not even brushing gets it off, and it just eats away at it. As I've already got weak tooth enamel, he suggested I stop drinking soda. I had to start drinking alot of water, juice or tea. The hardest place to not drink soda is at fast food restaraunts, because they generally only have soda, … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just did not buy soda in any of the cases I normally would have, and I drank water instead. The only hard part came at the movies this past weekend, when the person I was with bought a big diet coke and put it in the cupholder right next to me. But even that wasn't all that big a struggle, really. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just stopped, it's rough at first... there will be headaches and cravings but it does work out. If you go cold turkey and avoid it for even 2 weeks when you take another sip you won't want it. After a period of time with no soda it hits you like it did the first time and trust me it's not enjoyable. If I want carbonation, I'll drink a flavored carbonated water but it's a rarity.

Ugh this is so hard! I’m posting this while on my lunch break at home. I had to come straight home to eat, or risk giving in to one of the mountain dews I’ve been staring at all day. Today, I’m a cashier. And for the first third of the day, it was slow, and I stood next to the Pepsi cooler. Torture.
But it’s okay. Still going strong. :)

And I feel great! Not missing soda a bit!

Today is the morning of my fourth day without soda. I’m crazily proud of myself, even though it hasn’t been very long, just because I can’t remember the last time I went even three days without soda.
Today might be difficult, because I have to go to work. At work, soda is my magical elixir that keeps me energized and helps me deal with stress. I guess I’ll have to find a new elixir.

Still feeling kind of blah, but I think that’s less caffeine withdrawal and more spending all day on the couch doing nothing on a rainy day. I got some grape juice, so now when I want something that’s not soda…I’ll have something! Also got some encouragement from my cousin, so that was unexpected and made me really stay focused. :)

I’ve made it past the one-day mark before, but I find myself relapsing when things get stressful. Or when I have to work early. But today, even though I had to wake up early, I found myself not needing a soda. Maybe I was nervous about jury duty. Maybe I felt good because I did yoga last night.
Either way, my goal is to go until Thursday without soda, since I don’t have work until then. I won’t have people relying on me to have energy and be awake. When Thursday gets here…we’ll see!
i don’t feel like i need it, but i like sweet drinks and the soda is the most easy thing to find, i used to buy a 6 pack of strawberry crush every week, but not anymore. :)
The vending machine will not let me get a soda. It’s a sign. :)
I ran out of tea already at work… I’m off to the soda machine. :( I would get water from the drinking fountain, but it tastes terrible! And I have no willpower.
