Is anyone else addicted to soft drinks??

[Thankyouandgoodnight]

I am absolutely craving coke and am managing to restrict myself to 1-2 cans per day which I know is REALLY bad for me sugar wise. It's as if they are the only things that satisfy my thirst (which doesn't stand to reason at all) - can I blame it on the hot weather??

Please make me feel better by saying you're all at it

I'm at it too, it's the only thing that works when i'm really thirsty or feeling quesy. It has to be ice cold and really fizzy though and full fat, full sugar, and full caffeine. Don't really like it when it's gone even slightly flat.

I thought i was the only one! I'm only one 1 a day and that's not even every day but 6 out of 7! I'm also drinking about 2-3 litres of water, which might flush out the bad stuff (she says hopefully )

Let me know if you find a cure!

oh i love proper full-fat coke, it's delicious. but you know it's absolute RUBBISH that it's the only thing that satifies your thisrt, don't you?

I know, that's what's so mad - it holds more 'stuff' than water and hence creates thirst rather than quenches it BUT - tell my body that!!

Only full fat and full caffeine will do here too.

Oh god YES! cold cold very fizzy full fat coke in a pint glass with tons of ice and a slice of lemon. Am limiting myself to one can a day or I'd be bouncing off the walls from the caffeine but could easily neck it from dawn til dusk.

Crunching the ice cubes is bloody lovely too, nothing like it, can't get enough.

I love it too. And it has to be Coke, not Pepsi. Tall glass, ice, slice of lemon. Yes.

Not soft drinks in tins, but I can't get enough ice-cold fizzy water. I get those big bottle for aroudn 20p from the supermarket. With a slice of frozen lemon it in. Agree with crunching the ice cubes too - apparently not uncommon in pregnancy.

I've been addicted to soft drinks all my life it sends my hypo tho, so my parents used to be careful how much they gave me, but now I'm 27weeks preg I can't get enough, I'm lucky if a 2 litre bottle lasts me a day. Thats really bad I know.

Mmmmmm, Lucozade Lemon.... Never drank the stuff before but cannot get enough of it now...

Only two things gave any relief from nausea when I was pregnant - cold Coke and sniffing a lemon (odd, but surprisingly effective).

Aitch, you're not mning from italy are you, you saddo? Or just practising for your trip?

I love Coke too; me and dh have to ration ourselves. But I'm not pregnant.

I say don't worry: have what you fancy when you're pg. It's only Coke, it's not gin! I ate so many hula hoops when pg that I thought that dd would come out hoop shaped, but she didn't.

no, but i recently booked a hol in italy with the CONSIDERABLE help of MN so i changed my name in tribute.

How many can we have per day without getting ugly and fat ?

dh is utterly addicted to diet coke, hates the full fat stuff for some reason

for me its robinsons whole orange - at least its sugar free

lucozade was the only thing that got me through the morning sickness all 3 times and I am VERY partial to a full fat coke too but it has to be out of a tin, not the bottle??!

when i was pregnant with DD 2 years ago COCA COLA was the only thing that stopped my morning sickness. I carried on drinking it through my pregnancy becasue i found it also helped with the acid reflux i got!! Problem is 2 years on i still drink alot of coke and if i dont have any in a day i get headaches!
