I've realised that I'm a little too fond of fizzy drinks. It's not a severe addiction to the point of downing gallons, but I am drinking a 330ml can of Pepsi Max almost every day. Sometimes a little more.

Club soda or seltzer is a good start, if you want the fizz but not the sugar/flavor. If it's the taste you like, try the syrup they make for fizzy water.

I kicked mine by winning a weight loss bet with a friend. Depression and anxiety caused the weight to come back, but I still haven't had a soda in three years.

This is what I did as well. I also had to get some flavored water i found I liked the taste of and it helped to have a variety.
