Soda for me too was an awful habit to kick. I too would grab it from the fridge instead of a nice glass of water, or even milk. Although Kicking my soda habit was forced upon me. I solely drank Diet Soda most of my life, regular soda is too sweet for me (Kinda funny because I have a sweets habit to break) Diet soda though has been shown in research to reek havoc on certain peoples Pancreas, Thyroid, blood sugars, fat cells, etc... I am not a doctor but I believe it causes your body to think it has consumed an awful lot of sugar when you have actually not consumed much of any. Your body responds though to "fake" sugar, and too much insulin or not enough is at times released. It has been a few years since kicking my soda habit, now once in awhile I am able to just have one. :) Stick with it, I can tell you from experience kicking the soda habit it doable :)  

Soda is not a healthy choice, good habit to kick.  

If you honestly stick to it, it genuinely doesn't take long to break that habit. Best of luck! 

I need to grab a big glass of ice water instead of a beer (to easy to grab a beer if I have it in the house). I imagine soda is the same, I don't drink soda.  

Good for you. You'll see a difference and feel so much better when you stop the sodas. Good luck. 

Love the challenge name.
