My brother had a tough time giving up regular Coke but he did because it was ruining his teeth and he wanted to loose weight.<BR/><BR/>You might try OJ + sparkling water...my husband drinks this and calls it an "orangina".Overwhelmed!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03213476355485623906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-75487684953244151832007-09-15T23:32:00.000-05:002007-09-15T23:32:00.000-05:00I did this with just regular Coke because I gained 40 lbs from just drinking Coke (ok, and probably all the stress didn't help.) <BR/><BR/>I quit cold turkey for lent and it was so weird because the next time I did have a Coke when we were out to dinner. I DIDN'T like it anymore. <BR/><BR/>That did change a few weeks ago and I do drink Coke again but not nearly as much. Mainly when my throat hurts from allergies. It burns my throat and makes it feel better. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!!Zen Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249582936717929919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-7517569373908413482007-09-13T13:21:00.000-05:002007-09-13T13:21:00.000-05:00Good job! I kicked the caffeine habit right before I got pregnant with Addison. I do drink a caffeine free diet coke or Sprite Zero every now and then for the fizz, but I try to drink water the rest of the time. It's so worth it in the end! :)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09913588347821588540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-18695324637608706642007-09-12T22:12:00.000-05:002007-09-12T22:12:00.000-05:00KUDDOS to you! You can do it! I didn't drink diet coke, but real coke and dr pepper. I can't tell you how much better I feel now that I don't drink them, and I do enjoy saving the money too! <BR/>Hang in there!Jillhttp://j2andn2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-49101541651773269372007-09-12T22:10:00.000-05:002007-09-12T22:10:00.000-05:00Ooh, best of luck.

Not my one vice! LOL Actually, I have decided to allow myself two diet caffiene free Cokes a day. Kudos to you for kicking the habit. Think of all the cans/bottles that you are saving!Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04764437077561164662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-1201205394575067212007-09-12T16:37:00.000-05:002007-09-12T16:37:00.000-05:00HA! I think our husbands chat--I always get emails about how horrible diet coke is. I too am a diet coke addict--maybe we should start a group. <BR/><BR/>Post updates on this so I can follow along and hopefully kick the habit too.<BR/><BR/>Note--as I type this I drink diet coke. Just like I read diet and exercise magazines while eating ice cream. I just like to have the knowledge in case one day will power does come along.Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06349927494606733688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-84760257224015289592007-09-12T15:10:00.000-05:002007-09-12T15:10:00.000-05:00You can do it! I got "addicted" to diet coke when I started WW a few years ago. However, some medical things came up and I needed to go "caffeine free." I can honestly say I've had no caffeine in 2 years and I don't miss it at all! In fact, if I drink any now I feel all shaky and jittery and can't sleep for 2 days! Good luck getting through the tough time; I promise it will get easier.Emily Hendersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14989528656890002126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-90922485366204131042007-09-12T12:42:00.000-05:002007-09-12T12:42:00.000-05:00Yay for you! Seltzer water is a good alternative, too, when you want the fizz.Ritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06434151165867029916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-56509128318705190112007-09-12T12:31:00.000-05:002007-09-12T12:31:00.000-05:00I could never acquire a taste for diet sodas. I preferred the regular ones. In June, I have up sodas too. A good alternative to drinking sodas is IZZE sparkling juice. http://www.izze.com/ They come in a variety of flavors and they are quite yummy (but, quite pricey). I also like the Crystal Light packets, but that would defeat your purpose of artificial sweeteners. However, for a nice change of pace in the water bottle, I like them. Good luck.Ms. Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000444081698869533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-61655071377813226122007-09-12T12:04:00.000-05:002007-09-12T12:04:00.000-05:00We'll be praying for you!Richhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09396223294042213468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408630.post-84265774728655869962007-09-12T10:21:00.000-05:002007-09-12T10:21:00.000-05:00Great work! I know that that is hard. I need to stop drinking them as well. I switched to diet cokes to lost weight but do realize that it may not be working. I will say a prayer for you!! :)Desiree'http://www.blogger.com/profile/16332484098011513452noreply@blogger.com
