Hi, Lass. I am new around here, too, but just wanted to add that I, too, have found the greatest success with making small, gradual changes starting out. This makes it easier to stick with the changes and eventually you and your body begin to crave the healthier changes rather than rebelling against them. I, too, am addicted to diet soda - my caffeinated beverage of choice is Dr. Pepper 10 - which is an improvement over my former addiction to regular Dr. Pepper (in fact, now I can't stand the taste of regular Dr. Pepper, something I would have NEVER guessed possible) but not ideal. So now I am aiming every day to drink more water and less soda until eventually, I will hopefully be drinking little to no soda and mostly water.
Baby steps! Every little bit helps.
