I have gone 7 days without Mountain Dew. This is only step 1 in losing weight but it is a good step for me. I have not gone cold turkey though, I have pop in the house but it is just pepsi. I have cut way down on drinking pepsi too. I have not had any today at all. I am just trying to get healthier and getting rid of the Dew...well, I am so proud of myself.



Sorry Dale Jr.
 
Coca Cola keeps me at peak high performance form.
 
469 days since my last cigarette. Not easy quitting anything. My quitting has prompted others to quit, my son and several of his friends have quit too.
Day after day you just have to keep plugging along.

good luck Lisa....i love Mt Dew's myself.....switched to ginger ale some years back, still get a Dew every once and a while but not often.
 
pop. My GF will not buy it lols. I drink some at work, but not a lot

Good luck in your quest.

My biggest food vice is deep fried foods.

Good luck! I too am a soda addict. Growing up my whole family smoked, but for some reason, thankfully, I never picked up the habit. I did however pick up a very nasty soda drinking habit. I use to be way worse, but I can still kill a 2 liter in one day, and a 12pk in about 2 days. FYI the Mt Dew is actually better for you than the Pepsi. lol.

My daughter requires a Mountain Dew fix every morning and will end up with a giant headache if she misses drinking one. I stopped drinking soda about 5 years ago and have never felt better, the stuff is poison IMO

Pepsi contains phosphoric acid which is used to remove rust from metal, its also poison ................. do your tummy a favor and give it up

A good alternative is using Silver paint as a stimulating inhalent to get the day started.
The Russian manufacturered blends are the best. They aint afraid of a little led.

Russian silver paint huh Greg? you going to one of those glow paint parties now?
 
Sweets.

I'm a sucker for doughnuts and cookies, but I have really reduced my sugar intake. I eat a lot more alternatives in fruits and veggies, I dig apples and watermelon, so I started making smoothies. It helps kick that want for those things. Also, granola bars like the KIND bars are freaking awesome. It takes time, but change can happen if you let it diet wise.

My thing is how in the heck people get addicted to caffeine? I've been drinking coffee since I can remember and I can stop drinking it whenever.

To each his own.... :)
 
I used to be addicted to Mountain Dew too. I got off of it by switching to Diet Mountain Dew, then to Diet Sundrop. Each step was less sweet - now Mountain Dew tastes too sweet to me so although I can drink it I won't have more than one. I also managed to cut down to just one diet soda per day on average... although on the days I work I can't get started without one (I've never liked coffee).

Now I'm working on cutting out sodas on days I don't work, and cutting out that second lunchtime soda on days I do work. But work afternoons can get boring so it's hard to cut that second caffeine jolt.

I used to drink four or five cans of regular Dew every day, and it's taken a few years to cut back as much as I have, but it is a worthwhile goal. Best of luck!
