Same here. I've never been a big fan of pop (yes, I say pop too, I'm originally from NY). A nice cold fresh Sprite is all I'll ever drink, and that's not too often. Usually I only drink it if I'm at a restaurant or something.

Now, recently I gave up drinking sweetened tea. No caned, no bottled, nothing prepackaged. I can drink it so long as I brew the tea mysef and add the littlest hint of sugar. I made this deal with myself and gave myself a goal and reward. I am doing well, and its only been since right befroe Christmas I did that, and again, I've managed to loose 20 pounds just by sropping the suagry tea from my daily drinks.

Have you tried Splenda? It's made from sugar and tastes GOOD!! I use it a lot nowdays. You can even bake with it, and it's safe for diabetics. Yummy stuff.

You read my mind, Pamela!!! :D

I use to drink 1L of pepsi (Canadian Pepsi only) a day. then I was getting super fat. SO I switched to Diet Pepsi & nt it take me several days to drink 1L. I hate the taste soo much.

At work I have Diet Pepsi with no caffeen. I drink 1 can a day, trying to convince my mind that there is caffeen in it (the cravings r really bad, I WANT ONE NOW).

Ok My name is Corinna and I am a Coke, pepsi, pop, and soda addict. I have been since high school thats been some thirty odd years. I was so bad when the kids were younger they new to get mom a coke out of the fridge and bring it to me ,before I got out of bed. If not we were in for a rough day. Pretty sad huh. I did stop once for a whole 3 months. The first week I just about killed my whole family and I had the DT's, the 2nd week all I could do was sleep. I finally just pushed my self of the couch and back in to life. But after 3 months hubby decided it wasn't worth the mood swings and decided to budget in my drinks in my grocery budget.
I have cut way back but still need that caffine rush, I don't drink coffee
:p .

I feel like its really bad for me though, because im only fouteen and I can can EASILY drink 5 a day, but I dont;):p But sometimes I feel like I need too, so I run downstairs and grab a glass of water or juice;)

You need to stop drinking the stuff. Drink water! ;)

I stopped drinking pop last February . . . and I don't miss it at all. Every now and then, I will CRAVE it like it's chocolate or something. On occassion, I will get a tiny bit of Coke . . . then I savor it like it's liquid candy! I only drink it when I'm really craving it though.

;)

Yes, I am 15 and can easily drink up to about 12 cans a day when at my dad's house (Allways stocked up, and he has no limit)
I also feel like I could use some caffine sometimes, and I HATE the smell/taste of coffee.

I hate the regular, it DOES taste like syrup!

12 cans?!?:eek: thats alot!
i've heard that carbinated drinks can actually start eating away at your insides.(i have no idea how to spell those fancy words for your insides,so bare with me:o )thats one reason i want to stop is b/c i know that can happen,especially if you drink alot of pop.I can very much believe that can happen.

yeah, I know, it's really bad, but I only drink that many about every two or three months for only a few days, because that is when I visit with my dad. With my mom and step dad it is more like 2 because they catch me and then I'm in trouble.;)

I hardly think one can of pop per day is going to hurt you. If that's all you drink, I seriously wouldn't worry about it.

I gave up drinking soda for Lent and haven't gone back to it since....
