[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drink way too much diet soda and always have, from childhood. It is a terrible habit and I hate it and can never seem to quit. I am trying to start today to cut back majorly. I haven't decided if cold turkey is the goal or something like 1-2 a week.

I was distressed by this article: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/05/health/diet-and-sugary-drinks-atrial-fibrillation-wellness/index.html

I also want to quit for many other reasons:

-It reduces my water consumption
-Terrible example for my teen daughter
-I eat more when I eat alongside drinking diet coke
-It is expensive and really adds up - prices have really exploded the past few years
-I hate how stores try to force you to buy like 5 six packs at a time
-I feel bad about myself when I drink it

Anyone else want to join and try to keep each other accountable? Tips?[/quote]

I have it up many years ago.  I switched to unsweet tea and my husband switched to seltzer water.  It is a habit and so I just needed something to sip on all day or order at a restaurant.

For caffeine I do have one Starbucks refresher each day - tall.  Not really saving money but it is something.  I don’t like coffee.
