I have always loved Pepsi, but had quit drinking it for many months. Caffeine is hard for me to avoid and a nice cold Pepsi is my favorite caffeine. I have slipped, as had the dish below and it sure tasted so good.
I went out and purchased two six packs of Pepsi and am now drinking one a day. I feel more relaxed today and not so stressed. I'm hoping I'll just be able to not drink more than one a day and to be able to have these last quite awhile.
Do you need a Pepsi to get through the day? Have you given up caffeine for awhile, but just needed that pick me up to get through the day?

I actually love Pepsi and could drink everyday. I have recently given up drinking so much soda as I want to lose the weight. I was recently on vacation so I had more than usual but back home now and trying to avoid Pepsi and any other soda. I was previously drinking anywhere from 2-4 per day. I am now down to one or two per week or none. I am drinking more water and juice and am trying to stay away from anything made with high fructose corn syrup. I do drink coffee daily so there is my caffeine.

I'm trying to lose weight also. I was drinking about 4 a day and quit for several months. The problem when I'm under lots of stress, then Pepsi is the item I usually think I need to fix the problem. I'm now drinking one a day while dealing with the IRS. Thanks for the reply.

I can not live with out my Pepsi. It is my favorite drink. I drink way too much though. I go through about 6 per day. Its just a hard habbit to break.

Hello, Yes I do love Pepsi.I had to cut back on it because it can add weight. Me too I drink one a day. I need caffeine everyday it helps me to get going. I have two cuts of coffee in the morning and a soda in the afternoon.
