Title: Mustash is Quitting Diet Coke!
Post by: u2205 on September 06, 2007, 04:15:38 pm

For those of you that know me you'll be a bit surprised by this, considering I drink Diet Coke like water. But I've decided for my health and because I want to loose weight I'm going to stop drinking.

So if I see "snippy" the next week of so please forgive me because I'm going through very big headaches.

*dies*

i once was a mountain dew addict, than I had to switch to Pepsi for my teeth's sake.
That's the easiest way to quit, replace it with some other drink.

I haven't consumed anything with caffeine in it in over a year. ^_^; Caffeine's health risk is underrated, IMO. Especially people like me, that are already anxious to begin with. ^_^;

Nowadays I stick with stuff like Sprite, 7-Up, juice drinks, etc. if I'm going to drink anything carbonated. And even then I try to do it as sparingly as possible. (This week, my time off from work and the convention have basically been the exception to the rule. Gotta stay peppy, right?) >_>

GOOD LUCK! :thumbs up:

It was easy for me to give up pop, but I started up on coffee and I'm still going strong on that...I mean I'm not a hardcore daily drinker but gee Starbucks is oh-so-good...

It took me years to finally really kick the caffine habit.  Every time I went cold turkey I had trouble for several weeks, not just one.

But, now that I am off of the stuff it is actually alot easier to wake up int he morning.

Gambatte ne!

A lot of people don't actually realize that. There's multiple reasons why caffeine makes you more tired in the morning, but really if you want to know you should read up on it. A great reason to cut back on your caffeine in-take today!

I dun like Coke, or diet Coke, so I wouldn't have any trouble quitting it.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat you are quitting diet coke? o_O!!!!! haha how OOC XD well I wish you the best of luck :D

I've become more addicted to soda since I get it for free at work, but I've never really been very prone to addiction. (whew....or else I'd be screwed DX)

I'm in the same boat as Lit, I can drop it if needed, I just choose not to.

Good to know you're stopping Soda. It's very bad for you. And the chemical addiction to Caffeines is terrible. Your body stops producing what the Caffeine imitates and so you start to need more and more, and eventually you end up requiring it to live. It's bad. V.V (Drinks 2-3 cup of coffee in the morning and 1-2 energy drinks during the day, and the occasional Soda at work)

I gave up soda about 10 months ago.....

...........but Roy Rogers (coke and grenadine) ARE SO FREAKING GOOD. I had one for the first time since I quit last night and heavens.... It was bliss.


I also never drank coffee before, but since I work as a barista full time at the moment, I've started (it's bogged down with so much flavour so it doens't TASTE like coffee anymore, but still). ALWAYS A VICE.

I LOVE Diet Coke way to much! But I really do need to let up on it...

Yes you do.  Not only does it fail to help people lose weight, but it can also cause brain tumors.

Should we assume Mustach has relapsed as there has been no word of how successful he has been on staying on the wagon?

So it's been over a month, has Mustach remained diet Coke free in the meantime, or has he fallen of the wagon? Will he admit it if he has?
