I've been pop free for a month

[zarapipe]

Yes, this is a major accomplishment and needs it's own post. Or soda free if you use that term

Also caffine free for a month!

[redheadk]

Wow, that's awesome!

Was it hard at the beginning? I just don't know about giving up coffee.

That is a major accomplishment! Way to go!

Sincerely,

My fetus is probably already addicted to diet coke.

It's so hard!! I'm so glad I broke the habit.

yeah the first two weeks were torture! I don't drink caffine wile bfing though and I didn't want to waste calories on sprite and caffine diet is gross so I just kept with it. I don't crave it anymore though. I did try sparkling water foe the fizz, which I miss a lot but it was nasty.

BTW, I saw this on the app and read it as poop free at first. That would...not be exciting. hehe

Nice! I just had my first pop in a while and I just realized that I accidentally had caffeine. I opted for the soda because my stomach was feeling bad (grr, morning sickness), but I've been successfully avoiding caffeine. Sigh.

I rarely drink pop these days. I quit while I was pregnant. Occasionally I will order it at restaurants but just recently figured out that it upsets my stomach. When I was drinking it regularly I didn't have that issue. I also used to love Mt. Dew, I think it's too sweet now.

Coffee, however is not going anywhere.

Nice! I gave it up for the month of August but started again in Sept. I don't drink it daily, but I could definitely stop drinking my calories. H has been pop-free for about a month and a half now, which is huge for him because he drank a ton of Mt Dew.

Good for you!

I had a diet Dr pepper today. I'm still breastfeeding, flame away.

Your WNY is showing. 

Congrats, that's awesome.  I have resumed a few tastes of Diet DP since I stopped pumping.  I need to stop.

[dexteroni]

Awesome! I gave up pop (lol - Ohioan here) last year and don't even think about it now. Coffee, though - impossible.

[bowies]

I have not successfully kicked the soda habit. It's my one vice. Though these days it is caffeine free since DS can't tolerate caffeine or coffee.

Maybe I'll try it again as a New Years resolution. I love fizzy water.

[natablue]

That's awesome! My love for diet
coke is fierce right now, I can't seem to kick it

[dancingirl21]

My heart starting pounding really hard frequently years ago so DH said to try giving up caffeine. I gave it up cold turkey and stayed off for 8 years. I used to drink 1 diet coke and at least 1 coffee per day.

Recently I have added back in sprite zero or and half-caf coffees with no issues but quitting caffeine made worlds of difference for me!

[yellowbrkrd]

That's awesome!

I really need to give it up again, I go in phases, but M is starting to grab for it.

8 years?! Wow, that is seriously impressive.

[carolinagirl831]

That's awesome! I was doing grat st this before I got pregnant, but coke is great at keeping nausea at bay. Good for you, it's so hard!

Hahaha I just came in to post the same thing.

Well done! I don't drink caffeine drinks because I am very sensitive to it, but have found that the less sleep I get lately the more soda I reach for. I just finished a heck of a lot of Fanta the last 2 days. When I am not as sleep deprived I tend to drink water.

[biogirl21]

Way to go! I keep telling myself I'm going to quit the caffeine, but then I just drink "one more" and never stop. I should get stock in Pepsi.
