Since I quit caffeine three years ago, I can't have sweet tea or even diet drinks anymore at restaurants (except for Chick Fil-et and Steak & Shake). So it has made me drink more water for sure. But at home, I keep Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi--it's my favorite. It has more zing than Diet Coke. I absolutely CANNOT drink the real stuff; too sweet!! I also make Caffeine free iced tea at home, so I can at least enjoy it there.
Barb, going off caffeine was about the hardest thing I've ever done. I know I was addicted to it. We will permit you to "backslide" every once in a while though.

I have been trying to drink more water. But I'm not ready to give up the pop yet.  Someday ------------- maybe. |
Margie, I buy the Crystal Lite to-go packets and put one in a bottle of water and it really helps...I couldn't do the water thing without it.

yall will get used to the water......like when you stop drinking sodas for a while and then you go to drink one they are terribly sweet and gross. with water, you just have to start doing it and your body will want it....

Chocolatelady, I could be in the Sahara Desert and my body wouldn't tell me it wanted water!!
But, honest to goodness, the CL does help me tremendously...I couldn't drink the water without it.

Barb, that's good advice. One thing I have been doing is replacing my afternoon Diet Coke with my own concoction. I have a huge Weight Watchers glass that holds something like 32 oz. I fill it about 1/3 of the way full with water and then dump in one of those sugar free to-go packets, then a glass of ice, then top it all off with some Diet Sprite. That's very good. I think I'm going to start drinking alot more of that and alot less of the DC. And then gradually, I will cut back on the amount of Diet Sprite I'm adding.
You're a wise woman to swear off of the pop. I commend you for it.
