addicted to pop

[illshowumyramrod]

okay i think i am addicted to pop. I drink around three pops a day. Do u think that is really bad for you, and does anyone know any good ways to get off. I've been drink about 2-3 for about six years, and i'm pretty sure this is going to affect my health.

Do you guys think that i have a pretty bad problem???

No it's not good for you.. I believe you could get diabeties(sp?) from it.. But even if you can't it's not good for your health.

i had a friend who drank soda like that for a while until he get a kidney stone. Supposedly if you get too much of the carmel flavoring that's in some drinks (such as pepsi) it builds up until one day you pee a rock out

It's fine.

If anything, drink more.

The easiest way to 'get off it' is to simply Stop. The first day or two will suck, you'll have caffiene withdrawls (headaches and such). You'll likely get headaches from your sugar intake being lower than you are used to also. So for that, suck on some sort of candy or chew some gum.

looks like we're both up poop creek without a paddle.... but hey atleast were in the same boat

um... pop? im not familiar with this "pop" you speak of.



heh, crazy easterners. anyways, about a year ago, i used to be in the exact same situation as you. then i decided it was time to change. i decided to give up soda for good. the first couple days were tough. but after a while, you learn to live without it. soon, it wont even cross your mind. now, i drink approx. 120 oz. of water a day, usually more. and now, soda is incredibly disgusting. its just too.. nasty. i also lost 15 lbs in 3 months without really trying. i can safely say that giving up soda is one of the best things i have ever done.

one of the things that really moved me towards giving it up is the health risks drinking soda entails. the amount of sugar a single 12 oz. soda contains is frightening. the amount of calories it contains is even scarier. soda also contains phosphoric acid. this stuff is nasty. in fact, trucks carrying the syrup for soda have to be amrked as carrying hazardous materials. soak a steak in coke and it will dissolve completely in three days. a nail in four. this thread will help ya out some more with your decision: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...hreadid=106004 .

good luck in kicking the habit.

I don't do drugs, but I think if I ditched either paintball or soda, I'd go nuts and become a crack addict.

So the soda habit stays.

[laxkid]
