I used to drink it ALL the TIME. I was the same way – I'd get headaches if I didn't drink it every day. For the first week, I found it very hard, and I cheated quite a bit. Rather than drinking 3-4 glasses a day, I would limit myself to one only. Then, on November 19th (which I consider my first day on the diet cheat-free), I didn't have any at all. I just drank lots of water. The next day, I felt I had done so well that I didn't want to "spoil" it by having a diet coke. So I didn't have one that day either. Each day got easier as I became more and more proud of myself for sticking to it. And yes, I had headaches, but I just took plenty of Tylenol. Not the best solution, I suppose, but it helped. The headaches took about 2 weeks to go away. I won't lie – it wasn't easy – but it is doable. Just try to think of each cheat-free day as one more step towards feeling better!
