Soda
 

So...before I went on this diet, I was a huge soda drinker. I drank Diet Coke and had maybe one a day.

Now, my Dad who is also on the diet drinks a Diet Coke every once in awhile, and it doesn't seem to affect him too much.

I know soda is horrible for you, but I guess I was wondering if you guys choose to drink any? Or if you have it sometimes.

I honestly haven't missed it too much, I drink tons of water. But I wouldn't mind having one in a couple of weeks.

My one vice is Coke Zero. I don't leave home without it. I know it's not good for me. :(

So you drink it and still see results?

I try hard to limit to one diet soda per day. I am not ready to give up my fizz just yet.

I've never had a problem with losing weight and drinking diet pop. I don't even want to tell you how much I drink in one day. It does not give me any cravings, except for another Coke Zero. It's quite addicting though and not good for tooth enamel.

Ok this is really cool to hear...at one point I had like 4 a day. I haven't had one in almost two weeks and it was a lot easier to stop than I thought.

But now that you guys are telling me you drink it, maybe once I get to phase two I'll have one. But I am a bit afraid that it will make me gain back for some reason!

You're doing great if you've gone that long without. Maybe use one as a reward system once in a while.

I was thinking that same thing. Maybe I will have one on Thursday to celebrate two weeks of dieting successfully.

I'm not a soda drinker but will usually have a glass or two or three of Crystal Lite and it does not impact me.

I've cut down alot. I go through phases where I don't have any, then for whatever reason start back up. I always have Diet Coke in the house so it's just what I feel like. I don't think DC has any effect on my WL one way or the other.

One thing I have done is if I want a DC, I have a huge glass of water first so I'm not drinking it to quench thirst-if that makes sense.

That is great advice Lexxiss, that way I will only drink one and not chug it to quench thirst.

And Crystal Light is so yummy, I drink that a lot actually.

and here I was feeling bad about how much diet soda we have in the house...sheesh!! Ya'll are practically bathing in the stuff! lol kidding. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who loves me some fizzy goodness. Although, since I made the challenge to drink at least 64 oz of water a day...I haven't had any of the bubbly, darn water!! lol

I really found it hard at first to stop drinking sodas. I used to drink no less than 5 a day and was extremely addicted to it.

Now, that I decided to continue to not drink sodas I haven't seen much change in my weight because of it. Mostly I think that the exercise is the main reason for my weight loss.

I think One a day with Lunch is fine. Or maybe I just keep telling myself that... MMMMM DIET SUNKIST!!!! How i love thee. lol

See, I think I might want mine in the morning...I used to drink it instead of coffee. :p
