Anyway, drinking soda was largely a part of me beginning to put on weight when I was younger. I was drinking probably 5-6 cans of regular soda a day and then decided it was time to change that.
Started drinking iced teas and water more often. If I really needed something to trick my mind that I was drinking a soda, I drank a ginger ale, Fresca, or some kind of club soda.
I've basically found that any regular soda just tastes absolutely disgusting to me anymore, and the only thing I can actually enjoy is a Diet Coke with a lemon wedge.
