Breaking a really bad habit...come on admit it PLEASE!

[Minnesota!]

I have 2 Diet Pepsi's a day when at work. But, I also have a minimum of 88 oz of water - usually closer to 132.

Ugggg I am so relating.

I live on Diet Coke and hot tea. Even in the hottest of days I have to drink tea. Ive never had coffee.

You know youve absolutly gone nuts when you take a can of Diet Coke in the car to drive your kids to school in the AM

Im on my 4th cup of tea already. In about an hour or so i'll be switching to DC.

Could be worse

I used to. I'd say I averaged 6 cans on a normal day, sometimes more depending on what I was doing. So I switched to diet, since I didn't want that extra massive amount of calories. But the more I read about health problems that artificial sweeteners have been linked to, I quit. I still have 1 occasionaly, like at a BBQ, but it's mostly water now. And after more than a year off of diet sodas, I have to tell you, I feel a lot better physically!

I drink 1 maybe 2 softdrinks (including Sonic drinks) per week. I drink lots of water, coffee and juice instead.

And I don't drink diet stuff. That stuff is awful.

I used to drink two 2-liters a day - mostly diet Pepsi

now I drink a lot of crystal lite or sugar free iced tea.

But I am still a HUGE coffee drinker - at least 12-15 cups a day

I cannot stand the taste of diet soda, I have no clue how anyone can drink it. If worried about the calories I will always opt for water over the disgusting diet sodas.

Here, here!!!

But I will tell you that I have since switched to Caffeine Free Pepsi/Coke.
I drink almost a 2 Liter a day.

Well I think a few of you are just as bad as me...thank goodness. I drink about 8 12ounce cans per day! I really need to drink water but I just love my Diet Cokes!

Two or three weeks ago, I pretty much kicked my Coca Cola habit. I've had a Brita pitcher lying around, but I didn't really use it. I started working out over a month ago, and I would drink water when I worked out. After that, I started trying to ween myself off of my Coke, which was anywhere from four to six cans a day, and over to just water. For almost three weeks now, I haven't had a Coke outside of work. Where I work, the water is really nasty, so I do drink Coke at work. At home though, it is strictly water, with the occasional milk or orange juice. I had nasty headaches at first, but now, I feel really dehydrated if I don't get enough water. I used to feel that was a lot, but I didn't realize that was what it was til I started drinking tons of water. I feel a lot better all around.

Good luck Beauty! I quit Coke cold turkey right after my wedding last year. I was extremely tired the first month or so, and got pretty bad headaches. (Guess that caffeine did something....) But now, a year later, I'm healthier, drinking water and milk.

I used to drink a six-pack (minimum) of caffeine free Diet Pepsi per day. But then we bought a water cooler and now I rarely have any Pepsi. Our cooler dispenses both hot and cold water. Best $100 we ever spent, the kids have cut down, too.

I drink two Nalgene bottles of water (32 oz each) and one 24-32 oz fountain Dr. Pepper (every other day) at work. All other times I drink water or caffeine free iced tea. Stephen thinks I drink too much pop, but it's the one vice I have, and I refuse to give up my pop, even if it's only every other day. It does mess up my stomach a little, but I just can't seem to totally give it up. When I go out to eat, I always have water with lemon. Dr. Pepper is a treat for me, so I don't have it with meals, just on it's own.

I probably drink the equivilent of 8-10 cans per day. Mt. Dew is my drink of choice but I also like Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Pepsi Blue, Code Red, and orange.

I usually start my day with 2-3 cans (sometimes more) of Mt. Dew. I can't stand coffee so the Mt. Dew helps wake me up. A 32 oz. soda usually accompanies my lunch and in the evening I have another 2 or 3 cans with dinner and in the evening. On some summer days I head over to 7-11 a couple times per day to fill my Xtreme Gulp which is a 52 oz. mug.
