Okay as most of you know by now I am starting this to see the effects of soda on my depression and anxiety.
Will post daily on my feelings with soda and then daily without. I will do this about one week at a time, So 1 week on and then 1 week off. I hope that this helps someone. Or maybe we can get a good laugh at least.

Day 1 of Week 1

Today is day one and I shaky and my hands are colder than normal. My stomach is fussy also. Not hurting but just not right. My hands are very bad though. I am so shaky that I press the wrong keys or too many. I wake up shaky and with the feeling that I have forgotten something or I am in a panic but after getting up I am fine. I see why I shake so much but the startled feeling is most bothersome. Study will continue. confused confused confused confused

Is the shakiness from drinking soda or from quitting soda?

I wouldn't quit the soda cold turkey if it has caffeine in it. You may be addicted to the caffeine. If you do and you are, you will get headaches... Just a thought...

Hugs, Karen...

GoAsk- The shaking is from having soda. I still shake but not near as much as I am with the soda in my system.

Karen- I have gone months without soda after drinking it for years. I do get little headaches but nothing major. I am being careful Promise.

Day 2 on soda(Pepsi)

Started the day with a startled feeling again. I am still shaky. Blah! I did have a ton of energy though. So I cleaned my kitchen! I did dishes 2 times, hand moped my floors and wiped my walls down! I did end up hurting my back from the floors and walls. Then the rest of the evening was back spasms and headache. Headache is from my son whining over his stupid phone, but I fixed it and all is right in his world again. lol. I am very tired and a bit sore still. So I will cut it here and post more tomorrow. 5 days until I go off the soda!

Day 3 on soda(Pepsi)

Not sure if I can go 4 more days. I am super tired and super shaky. My back is not helping and neither is my tummy issues. Gas and just all around YUCK!!!! I will go on so I know the effects are soda and not my pain. Will update more tomorrow. I need to relax my back is killing me. Ibuprofen is my new BFF

Interesting...

Sorry to hear about your back and tummy issues. Try something for your gas.

Hope you'll feel better.
Good Luck with the rest of the days!

Day 4 on soda(Pepsi)

I am very tired and angry! I mean that I could get into a physical fight right now. I do not like rude @#$ people and I was just in a building full of them. I went to get food for help for the month, and people that live in this @#$%^&* @#$ town looked down on me like I was trash!!!! WT????????? I will find someone to tell about this and things better change. I am not in a good mood today. I just need a little understanding that I need help and not have @#$%&* looking down on me. I do not like people in this town anyways. Whatever. bye

I have to start the no soda portion of my study tomorrow as I am not well at all on soda. So tomorrow will be day one of that. Sorry to cut this week short but the effects on me are just too much to handle. my anger is very high and I can not be like this. My rant about people today was bad as I have calmed down and re read them. I am sorry everyone for that. Yikes!!!!!

Day one (off soda)

I already feel so much better! Still a bit nervous but not so bad. I did not wake with a jump start feeling. I am sore and tired though and this is mostly from moving things around today. Oh and I found energy!!!!!! Wow I have been drinking water and iced tea. So much better let me tell you.

Day 2

I am feeling so much better being off of that soda, I have had juice and water and tea. I am very happy. I can not wait to start losing the weight and feeling better and myself.
