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.

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.

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.

Personally, I love diet Pepsi but I've been drinking diet since I was 16,,,,,,,so regular soda tastes gross to me.

My Little Loves Group: Moderators Posts: 5,145 Member No.: 214 Joined: 7-July 03	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? -------------------- Brenda, a mom and wife in love with my family The administrators of Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.
