Well to a degree i do drink 1 0.5liter Soda in the Morning to intake my Meds but i drink 2l - 2.5l Water on top of that basically :P
But basically what has happened is that i just cant seem to get off Snacking >.>
I have a few Days ago tried drinking a Diet Soda again and it tasted horrible >.>
Like yoiu feel like you get a Heart Attack if you drink a liter of that Crap >.<
But when i wanna eat Chips or Chocolate then i have more of a Craving on there than Soda really >.>
Does anyone have Tips or explanations or like something to help maybe Crave it down? >.>
Afterall i do not would say i do it because i am a "bored eater" but more so because i just crave it to a degree as i am quite busy (atleast if Video Games and Watching Anime/Cartoons Count XD) to a degree >.>

Same for me. On a much longer timeline. I do not drink soda since many years and now if I would it just tastes bad. But the chocolate and sweet biscuits are too hard to refuse. What clearly works for me is increasing the distance to the source. That means I have less cravings when in the office because it is harder to get to something to eat. At home, if I was good and did not buy any then well I do not have any to eat… so I eat the banana /oranges I would have otherwise ignored.
