I'm going cold turkey

I've been trying to "wean" myself and cut down slowly to avoid the headaches, but I just have no self-control. If I have one Pepsi then I want another, and if they are in the house, I drink them. So... no more Pepsi in the house. You probably wouldn't want to be around me the next few days, I probably won't be a pleasant person. LOL!

Kaitlin'smom replied: not easy but you can do it. I hardly ever drink pop any more, something I thought woudl never happen but it did and I am happy, its getting way to costly any way.

TrulyBlessed replied: Good luck! I'm am addicted to pepsi. I did cut it out for awhile last summer and began to lose weight, but all it took was that one pepsi and I am hooked again.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I know how hard it is when I was a teen I decided to cut out mountain dew and boy were the headaches bad, but I did lose quite a bit of weight.

Good luck!!

MommyToAshley replied:
The same thing happened to me... I did cut it out completely and got back down to a size 6/8. But, as soon as I drank one Pepsi, I started the old habit again and I gained every pound and inch back. This time I am going to stick with it... I won't even have it in the house.

A&A'smommy replied: bless your heart!!!!! Soda is HARD to give up.. have you tried switching to diet to soda?

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Have you ever tried Diet Dr. Pepper? Its the best diet soda out there. Personally, I love diet Pepsi but I've been drinking diet since I was 16,,,,,,,so regular soda tastes gross to me. LOL Good luck!

HuskerMom replied: Good luck!

Calimama replied: You can do it!!!!!!!!!!

Jamison'smama replied: When I try to kick my coke habit.... (cola that is), I switch to iced tea to keep from getting the caffeine headaches. I am highly addicted so the headaches are excruciating if I go cold turkey. I stop about once every 6 months but somehow I gradually go back to the stuff every time...it usually starts with a trip to the movies----I mean really, what else can you drink with popcorn?
