Drinking water is a great . I also like adding lemon or lime to it too. But once in a while I still have that craving for soda. But I can snap myself out of it. However, I still drink soda occasionally.

Years ago I used to drink nothing but soda. Now I drink nothing but water and  my cup of coffee in the morning. I thought it would be hard to do but it was easy!

I love water, but sometimes I like to mix it up by doing "fruit infused" water.  Like with cucumbers, strawberries, other berries, etc.

My doctor wanted me off soda as well.  The problem is water has no taste so putting a lemon in it is a good call.  I do that myself.  I just can't stand the taste of food on-top of bland liquid to digest.  I used to drink 7up so for me putting a lemon in the water tricks my mind into thinking I'm still drinking 7up.  I really can't drink plain water unless I've been doing some kind of physical activity.  But I can't just drink it to drink it.

Good for you! I love to drink water. When I need something a little more I also add lemons. I have a few water pitchers in my refrigerator: one with lemons, one with cucumbers (very refreshing after yoga), and one with limes.

So I am trying to not drink so much soda and more water. I'm drinking lemon water now. So refreshing.

I was doing really good at the beginning of the year with drinking lemon water, but I fell off and have been drinking pop a lot lately. I live with other people, so it's hard for me to resist.

A company figured this problem out for those of us who just can't break away from soda is Zevia a naturally sweetened soda,  non GMO and no other nasty stuff. I had it last week the cola is great the rootbeer rocks and I'm going to get more. Its pretty spendy  but better than the junk in other diet sodas so the cost I think is worth it.

I used to drink Zevia! But this was years ago. :) This month actually marks 3 full years that I haven't drank any soda. My body just feels terrible when I drink the stuff. I stick to water, and sometimes herbal tea. Much better for you! Zevia is always a better alternative to major brand sodas, though.
