If you are addicted to diet soda, how many do you drink?
On a bad day, I drink up to 3 cans - I really need to cut back!!
-
Oh my gosh I am such a recovering addict. I don't buy it anymore so I only drink it while out at restaurants. But my last workplace had a free coke machine... I would drink like 6 a day and had the worst diet coke breath every night!
-
@mrs. wagon: free coke machine?! I would die. How did you start to cut back? It's so hard!
-
@pinkcupcake: it took years! But cutting back on caffeine helped since caffeine free DC is harder to find!
-
I only drink 1 a day now but I drink lots of coffee...
-
I used to drink 3 diet dr peppers a day regularly, and occasionally more. I haven't had soda in a few months, but sometimes I do fantasize about it!
-
I try to limit myself to dinner only. There are numerous exceptions to that rule
-
@pinkcupcake: I cut back when I switched to primarily buying 2 litre bottles instead of cans - that way you can't take it everywhere.
-
I have cut back to one a day for the most part. It hasn't been that long though! Like a month? I we t my whole pregnancy without and I don't know how!
-
I used to drink that amount too. It ended up giving me heartburn from the caffiene and sensitive teeth from the phosphoric acid. Now, I'll have one can max and not every day anymore.
-
I quit in October. I was already sick, spent most of a weekend sleeping off the bug (and, apparently, the withdrawal), and realized I hadn't had one for a few days.
-
3-4 a day. It's bad. I actually was thinking about it last night and how I need to dial it back. It's such a bad habit
I think this week I'll try to cut back to 1-2 a day...and then in the new year 1 a day.
-
I drink 1-2 diet cokes a day if I have them. I used to drink up to 6 regular cokes a day when I was younger!
-
Growing up, we were only allowed one can a day (obviously when we were older) so I've tried to keep that going. My old job had free pop so there were days when I'd have 2. Thankfully they also stocked LaCroix as I really loved the carbonation. I'm 2 wks into my new job and have broken down and gone to the pop machine a few times. I think it will get less with time as it's expensive and I'm lazy
-
I drink 2 diet dr. pepper's a day, but into the new year I'm really going to try to be done unless at a resturant, I'm no longer buying pop so I would have to buy it from the work vending machine if I "need" it!
-
Addict here. At my worst I was drinking 5 cans a day! I have been doing SO well and not buying it, only drinking it when we go out to eat. However, I just came across a 4/$10 sale on cans. I caved
I was good and only bought 2 dt cokes, and then 2 root beers for my husband. Its my Christmas treat (along with wine and sweets!haha)
-
I used to drink up to 5 a day! I finally bought myself one last 12 pack and made it last as long as possible...cutting down to 2 and then 1 a day. When it was gone I dealt with the withdrawals and just kept pushing! It was rough but I was glad to be rid of it. It's been a year now!
I still enjoy one every now and then, but I don't keep it in the house! When I do have one I can just chug chug chug. Why is it soooo good?
-
1-2 a day.....I have cut back to 1 during the week, then I indulge more on the weekends
-
I used to drink 6 a day. Now, I either do 0 or 1. I cut it out cold turkey.
-
@pinkcupcake: I picked up lunch in the cafeteria today so I am enjoying a fountain diet coke! Free refills, so I got a second cup to bring back
-
I don't drink any, but I think about it all the time. My vice is cherry Coke. I caved and got one last week!
-
I used to drink 5 a day easy, but when I got pregnant I limited myself to one a day. I try to do even less than that now since I am attempting to eliminate everything that could make LO fussy.
