I think it's actually easier to quit drinking soda when you are younger. I was very into sports growing up, and my coaches never wanted us to have pop, so starting in high school I just got used to not drinking it. My husband loves Coke, but he knows he can't have it in the house, so its more of a special occasion thing for him. On the rare occasion that I do drink it now, I can't stand it. It feels like it is burning my throat. It will get easier to avoid it as time passes!Laciehttp://www.ecochicapprentice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820801709988073801.post-46099966819836489792010-07-06T15:50:14.019-07:002010-07-06T15:50:14.019-07:00I quit drinking soda a few years ago-its tough at ...I quit drinking soda a few years ago-its tough at first, but not now. If I try to drink it now, it tastes horrible to me. Too sweet! I use stevia for my coffee and iced tea, and I drink a lot of plain soda water with a little bit of cranberry juice and some mint leaves in it. It gives me that carbonated zing, but isn't as bad for you, especially if you use 'pure' unprocessed cranberry juice.MarileeBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820801709988073801.post-23007771207738792682010-07-02T18:14:54.485-07:002010-07-02T18:14:54.485-07:00That's so great Daphne!

I tried Stevia and didn't like it. It tasted 'wierd' to me. But this chocolate one sounds good. Keep us posted on how your doing. Happy 4th and have a great weekend!Reenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745904952447335925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820801709988073801.post-77296414947983192592010-07-01T14:54:10.657-07:002010-07-01T14:54:10.657-07:00Debbi, certain foods that I eat signal my brain fo...Debbi, certain foods that I eat signal my brain for the need of Diet Coke.

I am pretty much JUST on water now, it's just too expensive to buy other stuff. <br /><br />It's funny, you know how you'll see a commercial for like a burger, fries and coke? It's the COKE that sucks me in now!! Another weird thing, I was in a restaurant getting seated and I walked by a table where a dude had a tall fresh coke and it looked SO good to me! You'd think that it would be the FOOD that would make you drool but for us diet coke fans, it was the drink.
