I haven’t had a soda (aka, caffeine) since Sunday. That’s three days without indulging in a Coke at lunchtime. I’m tired, and I’ve had a headache for two days. This is my week to be “broken” (aka, “that time of the month”). I’m eating less than normal, and have already significantly reduced my daily carb intake despite a very real, 3-D craving for Doritos. My attitude is wavering between wanting to cry because everything between my ears hurts and feels like it’s melting on the inside, and this:
Hmm… I feel like that too but it’s not due to the lack of caffeine or reduction of calories and carbs. It is simply because my poor little heart can’t seem to stop breaking.
The soda addiction is really tough to overcome. One thing I’ve found that helps is to start replacing *most* of the soda I drink with diet versions. It does two things – cuts out the sugar (and in most cases caffeine) of the regular stuff, and I end up not drinking so much of it since it doesn’t taste as good. But I also buy those mini 6-packs of airline sized cans, so when I really, really want some coke (-a-cola, not Colombian) I drink one of those little cans instead.
Ugh, I can’t do diet… I think it’s the nastiest thing! I’d rather just go cold turkey on the soda. I haven’t, however, given up sweet tea.
YUMMM…
