But that's on a rare occasion. Luckily when I do have a can of pop, I get those mini-cans they now make rather than the regular sized one. <BR/><BR/>Other than that I'm a water drinker all the way. I do love Perrier. Sometimes mixed with some fresh orange juice.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378873886047213011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-88221770290059474982009-04-02T22:28:00.000-07:002009-04-02T22:28:00.000-07:00I definitely need to quit diet soda cold turkey!

If I feel like having one with those food items I do, otherwise I try to stay away from it. It's really helped and I only have coke about 3-4 times a month now without feeling like I'm depriving myself.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959650452817406209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-20376124466374808432009-04-02T06:48:00.000-07:002009-04-02T06:48:00.000-07:00I think even drinking diet sodas is bad because of...I think even drinking diet sodas is bad because of it's artificial sugars. Cutting down on the amount of sugars consumed whilst on a diet actually helps a whole lot. But if you have to have a soda, I think limiting it to maybe 1 or 2 a week would be a good idea.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181638117291327698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-29322940965739097722009-04-01T13:52:00.000-07:002009-04-01T13:52:00.000-07:00Interesting.

I had to curb my cola habit from a 2 or 3 litre bottle a day to a couple of cups (we had a free vending machine). Now I have maybe one can a year. Once I stopped I could actually eat real food and enjoy eating it, and put weight on. The pyschology of food is so interesting.....<BR/><BR/>I find now if you're needing a mid afternoon snack, fresh or dried fruit hits the spot - and it's far more healthy.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774745116214686192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-51736381078589783902009-04-01T11:46:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:46:00.000-07:00I was a die-hard Dr. Pepper girl years ago w/a hug...I was a die-hard Dr. Pepper girl years ago w/a huge habit. When I decided to switch to water, I started by putting it in a Dr. Pepper bottle. Then, I switched to a regular water bottle and eventually was drinking a gallon a day. This was years ago. Even now, I still occasionally will have a soda, but 98% of the time, my drink of choice is water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-48344287714529383112009-04-01T11:30:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:30:00.000-07:00I don't drink soda either.

Diet soda always tasted strange to me so it was never an option. My real problem lies not in what I drink but, rather, how much: I can go an entire day w/o a drop to drink. Very bad all around - nearly just as bad as a soft drink.

For me that works well, because I am not restricting it I don't feel like I need it. I was introduced to fizzy water at a young age and really disliked it and I haven't been able to get over that as an adult, so I am happy with my very plain and wonderful water.

I wasn't trying to lose weight per se, but I realised that I was actually addicted to the stuff and needed a 'hit' at least once a day.
