So, I think I am going to give it another go. Usually I am an "all things in moderation" kinda person, but soda is an addiction for me. One that I can stop.

New Years Resolution #1. Cut back on the garbage in my diet, including my diet sodas. I want to rid myself of the Energy drinks as well. That may take a little longer but...

Best way to start is by flushing the system. 3 liters of water per day and then make some tea and go get some honey for the sweetener...

Sounds good, but do yourself a favor and do NOT make it a New Year's resolution! People rarely, if ever, stick to them and always claim they'll start all over "next year." Make it an attainable goal that you can start NOW! Why wait, it's just an excuse to give in and do a little extra drinking! Good luck man and I wish you the best!

Nice! I just woke up about an hour ago and haven't started my water intake lol

well, like the thread title states, im breaking away from soda pop. i have an extensive history of adult onset diabetes in my family, and i guess now's the time to try and limit that. (only took me 21 years to get my arse moving lol)

ive been stepping down my soda intake all week, and tonight is my last soda. at midnight, i'll be soda free.

i used to do it for lent when i was younger, so i KNOW i can pull this off. i've got the police academy coming up in february, so amping up my water consumption and decreasing my caffeine/unneeded sugar will only help me. I'll find another way to work thru my current night shifts until then.

i kicked energy drinks this past summer with no problem, so i dont have to worry about that.

now i just gotta stop eating so much **** candy!

wish me luck!

I'm gonna reread "Younger Next Year" and see if this time I can stick with it longer than 13 months. It was the perfect plan for someone approaching retirement age.

Ok, now that i have stopped my Pepsi habit as of two weeks ago i now have constant gas! Jesus, all day freaking long at work, like every five to ten minutes i'm worried about if i can get away for a few seconds to relieve the pressure build up. Even when i do i gotta do it a little at a time or i'll blow a hole clean through my shorts! At home, the five year old doesn't seem to mind too much. She just laughs.

Wow, I would think gas would be less of a problem??
