I have to admit it, I am and addict. I am (hope I can say was soon) addicted to Soda. I used to drink several cans a day, then I dropped to one a day and then I was not even finishing one a day, but I was still drinking it.
In my mind, it was ok. It was diet and it was saving me some calories. I kept reading and hearing all these things about diet soda and I was in denial. It just fell so good down my throat. It has been 7 days straight without having a sip. I am not going to lie, the first days I had headaches and I was thinking about it and I had cravings for bread and sugar. But I have been strong. I have been having water infused with fruits, detox water (with apples and cinnamon) and sparkling water. I have been walking daily, so I am thirsty and I am drinking a lot of water. I have been eating watery fruits such as watermelon to help me with my cravings. It has been only 7 days but I am committed to continue with my goal. I am staying strong. Now, to get creative with my water intake!

Awesome, way to go! Those darn drinks are great to give and one of the hardest. They are sooo addicting. Did you know it is one atom away from cocain! You can do it! I love ice water, I also like to put a water bottle in the freezer and let the water get slushy. Lemonade is another go to, fresh squeezed is always best. GOOD LUCK!

Great job, once you are passed the first week it gets easier. Keep up the good work. I still get the odd craving (especially for Dr Pepper), I've been soda free 548 days today

Good for you! It's hard to kick a habit. I love my Soda Stream, but never make soda with it…I'm addicted to bubble water. I add lemon or lime juice to it & it's better then what you buy at the store. Keep up the good work!
