I really don't mean to sound like a smart ass, I know all about food addictions....but what about not buying it? There are several ways to go about doing this. If you NEED to buy it .. put it in your cart and at the end of the shopping trip, before hitting the register drop it off and don't actually get it. I do this with a lot of things I want but shouldn't buy.
Find a substitute... fizzy water is refreshing, I used it recently as a sub. for beer which I was hooked on... a beer a night. Haha not really good for the weight loss.
Tell yourself. I WILL NOT BUY POP UNTIL (insert date here) put all the money you'd spend on the drinks in a jar and spend it on something indulgent that you normally would not give yourself, even though you want it. When you drink it, by that time it will probably not taste very good....drink it warm too, that should help with the grossness. It won't help if you eat a lot of sweet things in the meantime to keep your tongue used to the oversweet flavour of that stuff.
I have a tendency to get hooked on diet coke if I drink it. It only takes a few days of 1 per day and I can't stop! I stopped aspartame altogether when getting pregnant and now (thankfully) cannot consume it without feeling really ill.
