How to give up soda
It made me
... Like this face
 "Cold Turkey and never look back"
How I did it: My cousin and I were working at a pizza place (13 years ago) and we just decided that we were done. We each had a soda at thanksgiving that year, but other than that we didn't drink soda for two years. Lessons & tips: Incidentally, my cousin had pretty bad acne. After he quit drinking soda it cleared up completely. Resources: Resources... get a friend to do it with you. |

How I did it: First of all, I love soda. So it's not like I'm giving up something I wouldn't eat or drink anyway.I haven't drunk soda in 2 years and 10 months, and I'm fine with it. It was a New Year's resolution in January of 2007. I stopped ordering soda when I went out, which was the most often that I drank it.

I would say I've given it up completely and have always preferred water or fruit juice, but on the occasion when I have had soda in the past few years, I'm often told that from the sugar rush I get insanely hyper and that I'm li… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Cold turkey. I was drinking a lot of soda. And my body was telling me - ENOUGH! By 2:00 I needed a nap, I was grouchy, not sleeping at night. I stopped and started drinking a glass of milk (good for the bones!), water and tea! (Skip the sweet tea!) I drink all kinds of organic herbal teas. 0 calories no sugar so better than the bottle water flavorings you can add. Plus you can get them … Read how I did it…

Haven’t drank (or craved) soda since Saturday. Doing well! I mean, yeah, that’s only 3 or so days, but for me that’s extremely good.

I am currently drinking soda as I’m writing this actually…
I didn’t drink it for a very long time, but now work has made that almost impossible…
I’m going to have a very hard time trying to succeed at this again…

I have the worst headache ever! I couldn’t handle just taking the Ibuprofin so here I am with a Dew in hand. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Maybe cold turkey isnt the way I should do this…

I successfully quit soda about 6 years ago during college and then I turned 21 and started using sodas as mixers. Now here I am drinking a Mtn Dew a day and dealing with massive headaches. NO MORE!!! This will be a challenge though since I have a night job!
