Kelly,
I gave up sugar soda a loooong time ago, when I was about 13 years old (except for the occasional root beer or cream soda, which l still love :-). I drank only juice, milk and water until I discovered diet soda at about 16. I hated diet coke at the time, so I had to find something else to like. My favorites are Diet Dr. Pepper (or DDP), A&W Diet Cream Soda, and any diet friut soda like Fresca (there's another one and I can't think of the brand name, it's like Rite Cola or something. It comes in this delicious kiwi strawberry flavor). Other non caloric drinks that are good for flavor are crystal light, or Fruit Water which is made by the people who make SmartWater. It isn't carbonated, but it comes in light, refreshing flavors. You can get it a Whole Foods.
I hope that helps you find a diet soda you like. If you don't, it's no harm. There was a recent study done that saw a decrease in bone mass of women who drank diet soda on a regular baisis.
