I'm so glad I read this thread. I admit I'm not stopping it right away, but I'm going to set a goal to get off the stuff. Maybe drink those flavored waters (not the ones with aspartame or artificial sweeteners, of course). Or just one regular soda a day (or week) and drink water the rest of the time.

I'm hoping, after I consume the sugary foods I have left (it's not a lot, and I admit it's a cop-out because I should be going cold turkey), I won't get any more. I'm not buying more sugary things except for one thing (another cop-out, I know) that I've found hard-to-find so I want to get it when I see it. (Actually, I can order it online--Godiva Milk Chocolate Strawberry bars--but it's $5 a bar, and at the stores I've seen it, it's around $4.) And I'm going to try to get off the diet soda either at the same time or right when college is over in December. And I know, I know--I'm making excuses. Addiction is a b****.
