Addicted!!!!!

Ive been gaining alot of weight the past few months and I dont eat a whole lot but its because I drink ALOT of soda. I am completly addicted to mountain dew and will literally drink about 2-3 cases a day. I was wondering if anyone else on here has ever been like this and found a way to stop? Ive tried and tried to stop drinking them. I would love to start drinking more water.

They must put something in M.D., cause I have a friend that is the same way. Drinks it like his life depends on it. :confused:

Cases a day?

Your well on your way to becoming a Diabetic.

You just need to chill out and drink some water young apprentice. That's why your gaining all this weight, all that sugar.

Your seriously putting your own health in front of the firing squad.

I used to drink a ton of coke at work; you just need to break the habit. I started drinking crystal light instead; which at first helped but then I grew sick of the taste and I started drinking plain old water.

Its a mental effort the first week but afterwards you start to actually enjoy drinking the water. I still drink some soda but I limit myself to drinking it with a meal.

Like any other habit you need to really want to break it in order for it to work. Good luck!

Yep, I'd go with water. Once you start drinking a lot of water everyday, you'll likely find soda too sweet.

Remember, your poor teeth are the only ones you got!!!!

I used to be like that. The only way I found to stop is that I just don't keep keep it in the apartment. When the only drink you have available is water, once you get thirsty you don't have many options and must turn to water. Eventually you will break the habit. I would bet some money that part of the addiction is the caffeine. People underestimate how addictive caffeine is. Good luck! You will feel much better when you drink more water and less soda.

I don't drink any soda and drink at the very least a gallon of water every day and I am still 260. Glad I don't drink soda now ;)

Look at the caffiene content in MD. You are as hooked on MD as if you were a huge coffee drinker except the sugar content is huge also.:O

Someone else has also told me to try the crystal light thing. Ill have to give that a try. IM seriously trying to stop with it. I never thought I would be addicted to a soft drink. But I have got to do something. Ive been finding that if I go so long without a mountain dew I actually get ill or grumpy. My mother also told me about the diabetic thing saying im drinking way to many sodas a day. We buy 10-15 cases every time we are at walmart and I think its time to just stop. Thats just way to much. And I didnt really notice anything until after I started gaining weight I relized my pants were a little tight and then I started to notice it.

How many soda cans are in a case? 24?
