I have decided to give up soda for one month. I have cut WAY back in the past few months. The only time I was drinking it was when I ate out once or twice a week. This past week was tough for me. I think because I was on spring break, I was craving it more. Not to mention, the more soda I drink, the more soda I crave!! I only indulged a few extra times but definitely noticed a difference. For some reason, when I drink it at dinner time, it really doesn't seem to bother me. I think I can just sleep off the yucky effects. (The caffeine keeping me awake has never been a problem). But, this week I drank it two or three times at lunch time. I really noticed being hungry for the rest of the day. Hungry as in wanting to eat my arm kind of hungry. I think the soda (diet, aspartame, etc) played a major role in that. It was making me feel like I wanted to binge on sweets, carbs, etc. I do NOT want to even go there. I was able to resist those temptations for the most part.
So, starting today, I am giving it up 100% for a month. I will still drink my little crystal light energy packet once a day. That doesn't seem to bother me and it gives me the caffeine I need to get through the day. (I am not a coffee drinker).

Good luck! I will be anxious to hear how it goes for you and perhaps will inspire me! I've heard and read a lot about the diet sodas having this kind of effect, but boy do I love my dietCoke!! Keep me posted!
