Day 1 of quitting pop/soda/coke

There's nothing like a budget crunch to cut out the crap in your life.

It's Day 1 without diet pepsi.

I'm dreading day 3.

    I just saw this on the Dr. Oz web

    Diet soda intake and risk of incident metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, by Jennifer A. Nettleton, et al., published in Diabetes Care 32:726-688-694, 2009.
    Study Summary: People who drank diet soda at least once a day had a 36% greater chance of having a high waist measurement and high blood glucose levels. People who drank diet soda at least once a day also had a 67% higher chance of getting diabetes compared to those who did not drink diet sodas, and this was not related to body fat measurements.

    I gave up soda for Lent!  It hasn't been too bad, but there have been a few days I wanted one soo bad!

    although I did drink one this past Sunday at my parents' anniversary party....my family says you can have whatever you gave up for Lent on Sundays though (I think they make things up LOL)

    It's the lack of caffeine reaction that scares me.

    I don't drink coffee/tea or anything else with caffeine in it.

    ooo, yeah that's a different story then!  I gave up coffee too, but I still drink tea so that helps

    You should drink some tea/coffee to get your caffeine fix until you can wean yourself.   There are some great flavored teas out there that are very budget friendly.  Watch out for a headache this afternoon.

    I've decided to cut back to 1 12-oz a day (because I know I will never cut it out). I am on day 3. Good luck!

    I really need to cut out the pop as well.  My plan was to start on vacation but it has been too stressful since the vacation was during a move.  I am dreading it when I finally start to quit!  Good luck to you!
