I'm So Happy i Gave Up Sodas!

I gave up drinking sodas earlier this year. And alcohol for the mot part (still drink every once and awhile in social situations) i did it to get even more hardcore in my training. And also realizing how the empty calories in beer and sodas are just kind of saddening. Not to mention it fucks up your digestive system... and the bloating confused oh man... the bloating. How the hell did i drink this shit everyday as a kid? after seeing how bloated that bullshit makes you.

I hate a Dr. Pepper today... i was having a cheat day. And i felt so gross drinking it confused like it was just watery sugar... grams and grams of watery sugar. It just grossed me out when i was done lol

Anyone else feel this way about sodas? i think my body has become so used to not having them. That when i drink it my body is yelling ''NAH BRO NAH'' lol

I know a while back that carbonated water was a big issue, that it was poison to the body or something like that. It became popular to stop drinking soda, at least in the circle I was in. To this day it's rare for me to drink soda, I lost the taste for it, though there are occasions I do drink it. Sugary drinks are my nemesis anyway.

I Ggo thru short cycles. After a couple of weeks of LOTS of soda...I'll hit a day where I reach for another cuz I still CRAZY thirsty after so many of them and my common sense will chirp in and say waaatteerr. I'll grab a glass of water and be in a water kick for several months, interspersed with heavily iced glasses of cranberry juice. Then I get bored and go on another soda binge. Its weird to see my weight fluxuate so much just from soda. I won't change any other aspect of my diet, but will swiftly loose 15-20 lbs.

Sometimes my chron's will drop my weight for me but I know when that's going on...OH, I KNOW. I also know all that soda and caffeine is no good for my chron's at all. Oops.


Lately I been hittin up the 79¢ 44oz fountain drinks at AMPM every day I work, after my shift...they don't hit the spot no more and I'm feel a water/cranberry period coming on.

If I could surmount the 'boredom' that comes on, j could help my health sooooo much. That easier to do when j have a girlfriend. Me and my right hand been to familiar lately....lol.

yeah, I know what you mean, sodas can make your belly look like a ballon even with training

cold water, orange juice and some (like twice a month) mojitos, that's what I'm currently drinking this summer, that's all

I need to give it up again. For a long time when I wasn't drinking it, I could get along without it. Now that I started drinking it again, I can't stop. Although I'm trying to cut back.

One thing I always thought about soda was that it smells and tastes like a cleaner. barf Yeah I know, I still would drink it.

I don't drink much soda, but a couple times a week, I need a Diet Coke from McDonald's.

I predict you will have to take fewer showers, thus cutting down on your water usage and saving you money. Because, you know - soda, poop, showers, etc.

wow, Im happy for you. I wish I could. Im drinking one now. I also got up this morning before sunrise to have a slice of pizza and a coke with an episode of smallville. alcohol isnt that big a deal for me,I only do it 2 or 3 days out of a month. I hate the taste but enjoy the buzz.

Good deal man. Drinking that much sugar IS unnatural, should make you feel sick. It's only through habit that people get acclimated to it. I have a ginger beer or an orange crush once in a while and I can barely finish it. It's like two plates of dessert.

I still drink a lot of diet coke, which has its own issues, but trying to make more unsweetened iced tea and stuff like that. I do 4 bags of peach or raspberry herb tea, plus one bag of black tea, tastes great and no sugar.

Haven't had one in 5 years. Never crave one. After you've stopped for a while it DOES taste nasty. You have to wean yourself though...worse than drugs. lol

OK...so there's phosphoric and citrus acid in coke. Hydrochloric acid is already in ones tummy...naturally, at 5000 ppm. Cokes phosphorus content is a secret. Its pH is around 3.5. The stomachs pH is 2. What's in your tummy to begin with is worse.

The only real bad thing about coke is the corn syrup. WAAAAY too much sugar for a body to behave reasonably around. It would take a cave man some seriously hard work...nearly if not impossible...to get THAT much sugar in his little cave man tummy at one time. Your brain has sugar orgasms when h drink them things.
