How often do you have it? I used to drink so much and then went awhile with none. Now again I have it but not as often. I know that when I had stopped and the first time I had it again it tasted horrible. When I have less soda I feel less bloated and more hydrated in general.
So maybe for you try to reduce the amount and focus on the benefits you feel you may get from less.

Well then there's your answer. Keep drinking diet Sunkist. You already know you have no intention of giving it up, so there's really no point in asking anyone for "healthy" diet sodas. Problem solved.

LOL...screw the "diet" soda. I don't drink much soda, but when it do....it's full-strength Pepsi! Healthy or not, once in a while, I'm gonna have that Pepsi fix!

Splenda is not good for us in any form...please skip the Splenda sweetened sodas and anything else containing Splenda.

One of the worst diet disasters in the world is to completely cut out something you like or enjoy. Moderation is the key to everything. So you like Diet Sunkist. As you said, cut back on it, but do not completely cut it out. Yes, there are SOME people out there who can do this. However, the vast majority of us are mere mortals. And as such, we have flaws and give into those flaws.

I have a personal love of bacon cheeseburgers. Do I eat them every single day of the week? Nope. MAYBE once every two weeks; yet, I don't totally deprive myself of them. When I do sit down to my grease dripping, fat infused bacon and cheese, smothered in mayo, with garlic fries, I don't feel the least bit guilty. I indulge myself and go on.

Life is way too short. Enjoy yourself; in moderation

Stevia brands vary greatly in taste. The best ones are a bit pricey (like NuNaturals) but it's worth it to me.

I don't deprive myself of too much but I needed to cut back on the soda.
