For a quick recap- I have been drinking 12-16 (or more) cans/bottles of diet pepsi for the last oh so many years. I decided to just quit- cold turkey- and see what would happen. I started my journey on Sunday and this is Friday. Tuesday was my worst day and I have been getting better very day. My stomach and throat feel better and the headaches are gone. I still am a little lethargic but I still get on the treadmill for my 45 minutes every day. My joints might be feeling a little better but I am not jumping the gun just yet. I don't expect great results in just 5-6 days so I am playing it cool.
My biggest struggle- to find a replacement drink(s). As mentioned before, I am a diabetic so I have to be careful around the juices and other sugar filled drinks. Right now, I have a glass of unsweetened tea at lunch and then fill in with water, reduced sugar lemonade, and a couple other liquids. This will be the hard part, finding the replacements.
I am not taking any supplements, just staying on my regular stuff. Let me tell you, even if it has only been 5-6 days. If I can stop my addiction to diet pop and not be crawling the walls, anybody can. If you think you are drinking too much and need to quit- try it!!! You might surprise yourself!!! Take an inventory: drinking too much, joint and muscles hurt, trouble sleeping, stomach or heartburn problems, can't get going or do anything without a can, anxious, etc. Follow my journey and see how it turns out.
