I like water and drink it but seem to go through phases where sodas taste better. After a while, I crave the water again. I notice that once I start drinking the water and then have an occasional soda, the soda doesn't taste good anymore. So I don't know why I even start back on the sodas but seems if I keep them in the house, I'm tempted. I've stopped buying them again and really don't miss them. I've been drinking water and some of the Sam's Choice flavored water but prefer plain water most of the time.
Soft drinks make me gain weight too. After I stop drinking them, in a couple of days I can tell a difference in how my clothes fit....sad that a drink holds that much sugar, carbs and all out yucky stuff!
