Cutting back on sugary drinks is hard

Tweet

I think I'm addicted to sugary drinks. For someone who usually drinks a bottle of soda once every few days, getting one most days is too much for me. I find myself naturally reaching for one every time I finish dinner. I often work late into the night, so to keep myself awake, I get myself a sugar-sweetened drink, thinking that the refreshing fizz will stimulate me to do a good job. This has been going on for a few weeks now. One day I stood in front of the mirror and realized that I had a double chin and excess belly fat. It was shocking considering that I used to be skinny. I want to return to my normal weight; that's why I decided to cut back on sugary drinks. But, oh boy, no one tells me it was going to be this hard In the first few days, I had a hard time concentrating on my work. Also, since I couldn't get sugar even if I crave it, I ate more snacks instead. It's hard, but I have to. I haven't drank soda or other bottled drinks for four days so far. Let's see how long I can keep this streak Do you also notice that you drink too much sugary drinks? How do you cut back on them?
